COLLEGE PLACE -- Feel free to call Kelly Milner Halls weird. She won't mind.
For Halls, being the "strange" kid in school, the one way too curious about the world and asking way too many questions, was a distinction that fueled her success as a children's books author.
Halls doesn't just write stories. She researches the strange yet often true tales found in nature and the world, particularly about animals, then uses words to educate and captivate young audiences.
Halls was in town Tuesday to speak to students at Meadow Brook Intermediate School, as well as students at Sharpstein Elementary in Walla Walla. Her visit was coordinated by The Literacy Connection of Tri-Cities, a group of retired librarians who help plan author visits to area schools. Coordinating and funding was supported by schools' PTAs.
