When promoting her book, Estes especially enjoys connecting with students. With so much emphasis on STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — she said kids that are drawn to the arts aren’t always validated. Estes seeks to inspire students to dream big and to pursue what interests them. Altrusa International of Hermiston is hosting the author, who will speak to students at Armand Larive Middle School. The public is invited to Estes’ presentation Monday at 7 p.m. at Hermiston Church of the Nazarene, 1520 W.
