Author Brad Herzog will make a presentation to first and second graders on Thursday, November 20 in the morning. Mr. Herzog has written many nonfiction books for both children and adults. He will share various facets of the writing life such as how he became a writer, how he gets his ideas, and how he does research to prepare to write his nonfiction books. He’ll also get the student audience to collaborate with him on creating a story to demonstrate how to creatively use imagination. If students would like to order an autographed copy of one of Mr. Herzog’s books, they can print the order form linked here. Mr. Herzog will sign the books for students who turn in order forms before his visit. If anyone would like to order a book after his visit, those forms must be turned in by Tuesday, December 2. Mr. Herzog will autograph those as well and mail them to Olive-Mary Stitt School. Since many of Mr. Herzog’s books focus on sports, first and second graders are invited to wear sports shirts or sweatshirts from their favorite sports teams on Thursday for the presentation as an optional activity.
