I think we can all agree that Melody from “Out of My Mind” has touched so many lives and it was with a heavy heart that we finished the book several weeks ago. Imagine my delight and surprise when I received an email from the author, Sharon Draper, today asking for my help.
She wrote that she was involved in a new project called “Melody Around the World” which is like a Flat Stanley project – except Melody is the one being sent around the world. This great project has been started by a group of 4th graders who are then keeping a tally of where she goes. If you would like to be involved, all you have to do is fill out this form and it will be passed on to the people running it.
I hope you consider joining in and continuing the global connections.

Is there a schedule for Melody? Do you know where she is now?
I don't but I would contact http://twitter.com/di_chamberlain – she is the one in charge
Melody will begin her travels this week! We are very excited to see where this project takes Melody and the students of all participants! We will be tweeting out the project launch information very soon. Follow @Melodys_World for updates!
