Book Launch Gallery

On December 8, 2021, Ms. Clare launched her book in two phases. The first phase was via a Facebook LIVE interview with her publishing company. Ms. Clare is a third-grade teacher at Bennettsville Primary School, so she invited her third-grade class to be a part of the LIVE interview. She announced during the interview that all of her students also published a book and are now authors, too.

After the interview, all third-grade students received an autographed copy of Best Friends Forever: A Puppy’s Tale and a framed picture with the author.
