Hmm… or witty, or fun, clever or
spontaneous. Okay, so choosing only one word would be difficult.
You see, Hazel not only breathed life into author Nicole Groeneweg’s words in One
Word Pearl, the winner of the National Association of Elementary School
Principals Children’s Book Competition,
she’s also giving away an autographed copy of One Word Pearl!
How to
win??
All you need to do is tell Hazel what your favorite
word is, and why, in 25 words or less in the comment section below. Just be
sure to include an email address so she can contact you if she likes your word
best!
For example, Hazel told me her favorite word is:
“Complete. I like the sound of
complete. And it means I can move on to the next thing!”
Congratulations to Kim
W!
She won the Just ONE! Contest!!!!
"My word is HOPEFUL. Why? I am
FULL of HOPE as a teacher of students in K - 5th grade. I am hopeful that I
have the courage, strength, and stamina to be a better teacher each day."
One Word Pearl…
Pearl loves words.
All kinds of words. Words make up songs, stories, poems . . . and what does a
lover of words do? She collects them, of course!
But one day, most
of Pearl’s words are blown away, leaving her only a few which she keeps safely
in her treasure chest. After that day, she uses each word carefully—one at a
time, until she has no words left. When her teacher asks her questions at
school, she doesn’t answer. When her friend wants to know what she has for
lunch, she can’t respond. What will Pearl do without her precious words? Will
she ever find them?
Hazel Mitchell, illustrator of 14 books for children, can’t remember a time when she wasn’t drawing. Even now she can’t be safely left alone with a pencil! Her books include 1, 2, 3 by the Sea, Hidden New Jersey, One Word Pearl, All Star Cheerleaders and How to Talk to an Autistic Kid (ForeWord Reviews Gold Medal winner). Hazel is originally from Yorkshire, England, and now lives and works in Maine, USA. She visits schools to talk with students about her illustration work and speaks at conferences.

I love the word Extraordinary. It's a word that means amazing things when smooshed together, but when you separate it into its parts it becomes extra ordinary. It's only one step from ordinary to extraordinary.

I love the word Imagination. As a writer and children's book author, the word imagination means endless possibilities. When we use our GOD given imaginations the world and beyond is our Oyster. We can create, be, do and go anywhere we want all within the deep recess of our minds and breathe life into the characters we've created through our writing.
My favorite word is TOAST! The hot, buttered crispy crunchy Mercy Watson type.
Also the bubbly, sparkling celebratory wine type!
