Well-known children's author visits HH
Chris Barton will be our Susan T. Lawson visiting illustrator/author (VIA) at the Holland Hall Primary School. He will present to our students on April 14.
He is the author of books such as "Shark vs. Train," "Whoosh!," "How to Make a Book (About My Dog)" and many other award-winning books.
To learn more about Chris Barton visit his website.
Book order forms went home this week. Books can also be purchased through our Primary School Library website. To purchase from our website visit the PS Library website and click on the Visiting Illustrator Author banner. There you will find a book description page, a printable order form and autograph form. Below that you will find the online book order form.
The VIA Program allows our Primary School to annually bring a national author to our school. The program was named in honor of the former longtime Holland Hall primary school librarian Sue Lawson. Book sales help to support this program. We are excited for Chris Barton to be our VIA author this year.
