Our last two authors came to class today! It was very exciting learning about 12 other authors because they all have a different style of writing. I have even order a few books by each author to add to my collection! Thank you to everyone in my class for the inspiration!
Disclaimer: These are students presentations, the real author did not make an appearance!
Fun Fact: She was a teacher first and a mother before she became a writer!
At a young age, Pam had a tough life. She was forced to move, change schools, and make new friends. She was having a terribly difficult time with this and she turned to the library to make her troubles disappear. Going to the library actually helped her become acclimated with her new school!
Good to know that a lot of her real life was also written in Esperanza Rising, a common core pick, and a must read!
Books:
1. One Hundred is a Family
2. Hello Ocean
3. Mice and Beans
4. The Dreamer
5. Esperanza Rising
Check out her website for more information!
Fun Fact: She has an incredible passion for horses which lead to the creation of her first book!
Jan travels far and wide to various counties with her husband. While she is there, she would research the culture, architecture, and traditions. She would then compile all of these ideas and turn them into beautifully engaging children's books!
Books:
1. Cinders
2. The Hat
3. The Umbrella
4. Gingerbread Baby
5. Trouble with Trolls
