On Monday, March 9th, our students were inspired and amazed to have an award-winning, New York Times best-selling Author - Illustrator, Jay Cooper, visit us at Monmouth Junction!
Jay taught us all about the importance of reading for pleasure, emphasizing how books brimming with humor, action, and adventure naturally enhance our reading skills and vocabulary. Best of all, these books provide creative outlets and positive experiences that bring readers back, over and over again!
From manuscript to sketching, from line art to finishes, Jay took us through the process of creating the artwork inside his books, and we even collaborated with ideas for characters he drew for us and our Library!
Thank you, Jay Cooper, and thank you to our incredible MJ PTO, for an unforgettable visit! :)
