Meeting a Famous Missourian

October 6, 2016

Fourth Class student Suhani researched Mary Engelbreit as her Famous Missourian, so when the best-selling author and illustrator visited the St. Charles County library at Spencer Creek recently, Suhani’s mother took her to meet her. After presenting and answering questions, Mary signed books and calendars, including her newest work, A Night of Great Joy. Mrs. Reepmeyer—Suhani’s teacher and a longtime Mary Engelbreit fan herself—helped Suhani explain how the class had studied famous Missourians. Together they showed Mary the picture of Suhani standing next to her poster. Mary was humbled and said to Suhani, “Thanks for choosing me!” Mrs. Reepmeyer added, “It’s not every day that you get to meet your Famous Missourian in person!”
