Awarding-winning children's author and illustrator Jason Chin will meet with Laraway School students on Friday, November 6th. His latest book, Water is Water, is about the water cycle. His earlier books, Gravity and Island: A Story of the Galapagos, were designated, respectively, as 2014 and 2013 Gryphon Honor Books by the Center for Children's Books.
Chin's visit to Laraway School will include reading to students, talking with them about his writing process, and real-time illustration. The event will conclude with a book giveaway. Each student who attends will receive a brand new book to take home.
Laraway is a recipient of a Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) Year of the Book Grant. Chin's visit is one in a series of literacy activities planned for the 2015-16 school year. We are very excited about this partnership with CLiF. For more information on CliF, please visit www.clifonline.org. To learn more about Jason Chin, please visit www.jasonchin.net
