Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Each year, Kettering PTA is proud to introduce our students to a published author or illustrator of children's books. The students attend a small assembly where the Author shares their real life experience in writing, publishing and illustrating books. The children interact with the author and get inspired to write great stories as well as learn about a career that they may enjoy in their future. They have the opportunity to get their copy of the author's book signed that day. It is an educational and fun event that the staff and students look forward to.Our 2010 Featured Author is Greg Trine When he is not ridding the world of devious and sinister bad guys, he is either trying to invent a new flavor of ice cream—his last one was Rainbow Trout Ripple—or writing funny books with his sidekick Rhode Montijo. Sometimes Greg makes Rhode laugh, and sometimes Rhode makes Greg laugh. They’re keeping track of this, and so far it’s a tie. Greg is pretty sure he received a college degree in something, from a university somewhere. But it’s been so long that he’s probably forgotten everything he was supposed to have learned. He’s just glad to have discovered children’s books, and it is here he wishes to stay for a very long time. Or at least until Thursday.
