The author and illustrator Nancy Carlson came to visit our school on Wednesday. She was a very engaging speaker that shared what it was like to be an author and illustrator. She shared that many of her stories are based on stories from her childhood and about her family. She even showed students how to draw some characters from her stories. She encouraged students to always use their imagination and doodle as often as they can.
Check out Nancy Carlson's webiste, she posts one doodle each day!
