A Visit to Remember
Students in grades 1-5 and Mr. Lignier's storytelling class were treated to a quackin' good time when Tad Hills, the author and illustrator of more than 20 books, including "Duck & Goose" and "How Rocket Learned to Read," visited the library on Tuesday.
Mr. Hills read them "Rocket Writes a Story," talked about the writing process, where to find inspiration, and how a book is published. He showed the students how his characters can be drawn using simple shapes and then painted the character of Duck in front of the students! The students asked many questions and made suggestions for future books Mr. Hills could write.
Our guest said he hoped his visit would inspire some of our Bobcats to become author/illustrators in the future.
This special event was paid for by book fair proceeds. A special thanks to all of our parents for supporting the book fair. Your generosity creates inspiring memories like this.
