This is MBC and MJF writing compliments and making conversations in personal development.

Visit from an author!

Here is MJF and MBC listening to Ashley foots dad. He was talking about the books he has illustrated and written. He has published 1 children's book. He spoke to us about the process of writing, editing and publishing a book. This book took him about 4 years to finish! 

He signed a book for MJF and MBC. It is called the diary of Geoffrey Blip and showed us the draft of his novel. We are going to read his book together as a class :)
