Authors and Illustrators who've visited OLS over the years...
OLS has collaborated with Homewood elementary schools and Homewood Public Library for over twenty years bringing an all-star lineup of authors, illustrators, and once a songwriter.
Each year we prepare for our guest speaker weeks before the author's visit. Not only have these artists been working at their craft for a number of years but they really enjoy speaking to kids about the creative process. With every visit our students are turned on to reading and writing even more! For many, this author visit inspires their own book writing for Ultimate Author Day (UAD), which follows in the spring. UAD celebrates our students as authors.
Last year, prolific picture book author, Helen Lester dazzled our kids.
