"From Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker James Robinson comes a breathtaking illustrated memoir for middle-grade through adult readers—inspired by the viral, Emmy-nominated short film Whale Eyes." www.whaleeyes.org/
James Robinson, the author of WHALE EYES, spoke to the whole school about his disability, his Emmy- award winning documentary, empathy, and how he started as a kid who didn't want to read and ended up writing a book!
After listening to him speak, one Blaker commented, "It was WOW that is all I can say!" another said, "It was cool!"
At the end of January we are going to have our first meeting of the Blake Community Book Club. We will discuss the subjects in Mr. Robinson's book and do fun activities.
All Blakers, their caregivers, & families are invited to join! More information and an RSVP form are on the Book Club tab.
Unlimited copies of WHALE EYES in ebook 💻 and audio 🎧 book form are available on SORA!! The book is also available at the Blake and public libraries as well as to order from Park Street Books!
On Friday, January 9th, students and staff at Blake Middle School were treated to a captivating presentation from Emmy Award-winning film-maker and author, James Robinson.
Mr Robinson talked about his unique and powerful memoir, "Whale Eyes", and showed his accompanying documentary short film. Students and staff from each grade were later invited to meet Mr Robinson and ask questions. We are so thankful 🧡to Mr Robinson for his time, and to MCPE for supporting the event. It was a huge success!
