🎉📚 We had a special visitor Friday! Author Taryn Souders, the creative mind behind "Larry's Christmas Cat-Astrophe (Not Really)", visited our PreK-2nd grade students to share the fascinating process of illustrating a book before it’s published! ✍️🎨 The kids loved learning how illustrations come to life and how much work goes into making a story come true. Thank you, Taryn, for inspiring our young readers and future illustrators! 🌟📖
