Author & Storyteller Visits

Sommer Elementary is very lucky to have authors and storytellers come and share their stories, books, and writing processes with us!  

We already have some author visits scheduled for this year, including:

• Varsha Bajaj, author of Thirst on this year’s Texas Bluebonnet List (3-5)

• Tammi Sauer, author of The Underpants on this year’s Armadillo Readers Choice List (EC-2)

• Margaret Clauder, Mother Goose storyteller

• We will be adding more for the spring!

• Author visits will be held in the library, hopefully on Mondays to minimize disruptions to regular library checkout

We have been able to host these authors and storytellers through the generosity of our community and volunteer support of our fundraising efforts and our campus administration.

In recent years we have had the following visit our school: 

• Varian Johnson

• Vanessa Roeder

• Don Tate

• Margaret Clauder

• Jennifer Nielsen (virtual)

• Christina Soontornvat 

• Stephen Swinburne

• Liz Garton Scanlon
