Tiger Topic of the Week (Patchwork!)

The 4th & 5th graders had a special treat with Patchwork guest and author Liz Kessler. Kessler is the author of the Emily Windsnap and the Philippa Fisher children book series. She started off by going through all the things you need to write a good story and then took questions from the students ranging from "what's your favorite character you ever created," to "how did you start writing."

Kessler and many other special guests are part of the Red Gables Patchwork series which brings nationally and internationally known children's authors and illustrators to share their love of literature and reading to our students.
