Punctuation counts! "That's why I decided to tell people about the secret personalities of punctuation marks," says Moira Rose Donohue as she describes why she wrote Alfie the Apostrophe and Penny the Punctuation Bee.

Moira Rose Donohue reveals the secret personalities of punctuation marks to young writers as she describes her books, and her unique approach to the writing process. She also answers questions posed by students via telephone and e-mail. The program includes a cameo appearance from the author’s pug, Sniffles, who gives a bow-wow view of a writer’s life. Students and teachers are introduced to Dr. Rocket, a game show host who inspires students to playfully punctuate.

Time: 30 minutes
