David Shannon and Jon Scieszka Delight Welch Students
Reported by lynn_domek@ipsd.org on 9/27/09
Andersons Bookshops brought authors David Shannon and Jon Scieszka to Welch Elementary on Thursday, September 24. When the authors heard that Max Lacewell loved David Shannon’s books, they volunteered their time to come to Welch in honor of Max. Over 500 students listened attentively as Jon Scieszka read their new book, Robot Zot, and happily did the “Robot Zot” dance at the end of the story! Welch couldn’t have been more appreciative of the authors coming to inspire future authors and make a sad thing into a celebration/tribute to Max. You can follow the authors at http://www.guyswithbooks.blogspot.com. Twenty percent of book proceeds supported the Max’s foundation which directly supports pediatric brainstem tumor research.
