What Kershaw Elementary School said about Author Crystal Ball
O’Connor’s visit:
“By using her
incredible gift of ‛voice,’
Crystal Ball O’Connor
paints pictures with her words in her latest book,
Katherine’s Quilt
Made for Dreaming. My students adored working with
Dr. O’Connor as she
worked intricately to ‛pull
their writing’ from
them. It was an incredibly awesome process to watch as
she transformed their writing from reluctance to acceptance.
By embracing the common themes of family, generations, and
love, Dr. O’Connor
artfully guided my students to author pieces that they will
hold near and dear for a long time to come. A writing
instruction with Dr. O’Connor
is just what all students need to work toward becoming
life-long authors. Thank you, Dr. O’Connor.”
