John Churchman Author Visit #resvt
On Feb 4th and 6th, Richmond Elementary School was visited by some special guests: author John Churchman and his dogs! John is the co-author of the Sweet Pea and Friends picture books. These books are beautifully told stories of farm animals. They have wonderful messages of friendship, bravery, community, and belonging. If you haven't read one yet, do yourself a favor and read one of his books today! (The library has multiple copies!) John met with each class and read one of his stories. He talked to students about inspirations for stories and the value of their imaginations. We even got a sneak peak of his next book: The Easter Surprise. And of course his dogs, Laddie and Maisie, were a real hit with the students. A huge thank you to the RES PTO for sponsoring this event! Seeing storybook characters come to life before your eyes is truly priceless.
