Author Visits P.C. Elementary

Bill Farris, a children's book author, visited the school on Friday, October 12, 2012.
He shared information with students about he became a children's book author.  He discussed where he finds subjects for his books, what it is like to work with an illustrator, and he encouraged the students to write their own books.

His email is billywfarris@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more from him or purchasing more of his books.

Ms. Kelly, our librarian, is still taking order forms if your child would like to order one or all of his three books.
     * Mom Reads to Us
     * Clyde and the Impostor Santa 
     * The Optimistic Football Coach

Mr. Farris discusses the writing process with students.




Smelling a "stinky" sock gets the right expression for the illustrator
 to use in one of the author's books.  Drue Thomas helps out with this demonstration.
 
Ian Jones gives an amazing performance acting out emotion
felt by a character in The Optimistic Football Coach.
