His first book Andrew McGroundhog and His Shady Shadow was soon followed by the humorous Darlene Halloween and the Great Chicago Fire.

8 A Note From Your 2010 Conference Coordinator As a child, I learned the love of reading at a very early age. I could lose myself and the world around me in the pages of the books I loved. That love of reading has only grown over the years. As a teacher, my best teaching moments came when I could see that my students were loving the books that they were reading. In teaching children to read, I found such satisfaction in knowing that my students loved their reading, too. Like the conference lighthouse, teachers bring the light to their students love of reading and provide a path for students to follow to literacy. I truly believe in the guiding power of the Illinois Reading Council to help teachers lead their students to literacy through a love of reading. Each year, IRC supports Illinois teachers during the school year with local council programs, support grants and awards, and literacy programs. In addition, IRC s annual conference provides researchers, award winning authors, and internationally famous professional development speakers who will motivate, entertain, and guide educators. Mark your calendars now and follow the IRC lighthouse beacon to the best conference of the year. Join us to Light the Way to Literacy with the 2010 Conference.
