That's right, Marc Brown the author of the award winning Arthur series came to OUR school, MANN SCHOOL to speak! The children (and adults in the audience as well!) were thoroughly riveted as he conversed with us! He spoke of how he got started as an author/illustrator (was fired from MANY jobs before he began this one). He explained how Arthur the character was born (after being fired, came home and his young son asked to hear a story)! He shared pictures of his studio, of his adventures meeting presidents and traveling on Air Force One, and of his inspirations for the beloved characters. Marc Brown also shared some tales that were inspiration for Arthur stories. It was interesting to see the evolution of how Arthur looks today. He read his latest book,
Arthur Turns Green. Overall it was a delightful and extremely special visit!
