An Author Visits Our School!





Author and Illustrator, Ann D. Koffsky came to visit our school! She read from one of her books and discussed how an author and illustrator create a book. Ann explained that in order to draw a picture for each page in a book, one needs to read all the words on the page and then draw a picture that illustrates them. She explained that an author and illustrator go through many draft before the final product is complete. Ann showed us many of her drafts and the final products, which were the pictures in her book.
After Ann's presentation, she took the time to answer and of the children's question. It was a wonderful experience!
