author visits

The England Elementary library invites several visiting authors and/or illustrators each school year, providing opportunities for our students to engage in common learning experiences and enrich their educational experience at Elsa England.

Visiting authors inspire excitement, and lend authenticity and credibility to the reading and writing process. We love meeting the person behind the book, and learning more about our guest's writing/editing/revising process, their inspiration, as well as making important curriculum connections.

We've had the special privilege of hosting many fabulous authors. Some favorites include...
