| Margaret Peterson Haddix and Lisa McMann talk with 4th-6th graders about writing. |
This fall, we have had 3 amazing authors visit Brimhall School.
Margaret Peterson Haddix and
Lisa McMann came to talk with us about their books and the writing process.
Author visits are amazing, because kids able to envision themselves as authors. It was inspiring to hear Lisa McMann talk about how she wasn't super great at school as a kid, but she loved to make up stories. Now that is her job.
Meeting Margaret Haddix Peterson was an awe inspiring moment. She taught our students that she does a lot of research to write her series. She also showed us her writing process.

| Author and illustrator Brian Lies talks with our K-2nd graders about creating books |
Brian Lies came to talk to our Kindergartener through second graders. He showed us pictures of his studio at his house. He talked to us about how he is a normal person with a normal house whose job is to write and illustrate books. He showed us a story he wrote and illustrated when he was in second grade. Then he showed us his drawings from today. It was cool to see that he practiced and learned to be an artist. What a privilege to have such talented people talk with our students.
