A Real Author Visits

On May 15th Author/Illustrator Ben Mann came to give a presentation about what it takes to be an author. He is a very well known Allied Arts Teaching Artist and is one of Bellingham’s favorite local artists, but word is just starting to spread that he has expanded his colorful repertoire by adding Author to his resume.


He presented to Kindergarten- 2nd grade at 10 a.m. and 3rd and 4th Grade at 10:30 a.m. The students loved the chance to hear Ben read his story of the fox who encounters a whole host of new friends as he goes on an adventure, which proved to be a rhyming romp through unlikely friendships. Getting to see a real author and learn about the writing process is a real treat for our budding authors!
