Author Frank Smith came on Friday to read his first book, A Kid Named Billy! The kids loved the surprise at the end of the story and were making connections to previous books!
Author Smith's wife came in as well and shared the steps of making a book! She showed us the first steps of him writing the book on paper, to editing from the publishing company to the illustrations that were designed! It was great for the kids to see the editing process of a REAL book! Hopefully they will take what they learned and apply it to their own writing.
Before Author Smith came, we generated critical thinking questions for him to answer. Thank you to Jordan Perry who shared her Great Grandpa and Great Grandma with us for the morning!
