At Simonds, we are very lucky to have the opportunity to partner with Main Street Warner, Inc., BookEnds, and the PTO to bring local authors/illustrators in to talk to the students about their work. Each child learns what is involved in being an author or an illustrator, or both! The students also leave with a signed book!
