Hi Sports Fans!
Recently I’ve received a number of really great questions about Keeper from students around the country and the world.
Here, for your viewing pleasure, are my responses:
If you or your students have any other questions, please just send them to me. My e-mail address is: k-author@kathiappelt.com.
And while we’re on the topic of Keeper, here is a shot of the beautiful sculpture that sits on the Seawall in Galveston. It’s a tribute to the victims and survivors of the Storm of 1900 that was so devastating. But beyond that, to me the mother and child look just like Signe and Keeper.
Cheers!
Kathi, thanks again for your answers and for such a lovely book. I’m going to attempt to post your vid on my blog when, and if, I ever get around to writing up our Newbery Club. So far videos and me are not on speaking terms.
I so appricated your answer to the question about the gay characters. I adored Beauchamp and Jacques.
DaNae–thanks for sending those questions. I especially loved yours about the French fries.

What a fabulous way to answer student questions. I may have to steal it.
My daughter and I were very happy to hear the pronunciation of Signe. We had been trying to make some sort of French sounding name out of it.
Hey Linda! By all means, steal like crazy!
