Mike Curato Comes to Shrewsbury

Just a few weeks ago, the marketing department came to me to help with the logistics of a second author visit! This visit was in conjunction with the Nielson-Hayes Library's 150th Anniversary celebration.

This Literature Festival brought in authors from all over the world for people to meet. One of those author/illustrators happened to be Mike Curato, creator of the Little Elliot books. Shrewsbury International School - Riverside sponsored Mr. Curato and had him come visit our Y1 and Y2 students in the Memorial Hall. The Y1 and Y2 students at Shrewsbury City Campus came for a fabulous morning with Mr. Curato.

Mr. Curato shared one of the Little Elliot books on the "big screen" as the students watched and enjoyed.

A favorite part of the presentation: watching Little Elliot come to life on paper!

They also had the opportunity to ask questions as Mr. Curato moved around the Memorial Hall.

Some students even managed to get on the stage with him!

Although I was unable to be present, since I was returning from the AASL19 conference in the US, the library team did a fabulous job, with the marketing and ICT departments, making everything go smoothly.
