On the morning of Thursday April 6th, Bryan Chick, author of The Secret Zoo series, visited Glengary Elementary! Students is grades kindergarten through second grade met with him in the Media Center where he shared stories of his childhood and secret places he visited on his path to becoming an author. It was so enjoyable to listen to him read the first chapter of his book, The Secret Zoo to us. He also shared the writing and editing process with us and how he used the character strengths of perseverance and creativity to fulfill his dream of becoming an author. In addition, he showed us the process of how the pictures on the covers and within his books went from sketches to paintings until they reached the final stage to be ready for publication. He also asked "big questions" and students who answered correctly were awarded with a free copy of one of his books! It was so exciting and inspiring for the students to learn that they too can become an author like Bryan Chick!
