This week, the students in Mrs. Rolston's, Mrs. Barr's & Mrs. Gard's classes gathered in the Learning Commons to meet Vinnie, the star of a new picture book series by local author, Chantelle Saumier and illustrator, Vanessa Steunenberg. Students really enjoyed the book presentation! They learned the story behind the making of a picture book and how drawings become beautiful illustrations on a page. The finale, Vinnie's guest appearance, left no doubt that Vinnie truly is the star of the show! Thank you Chantelle & Vanessa!!
Jane Watt, author, & Richard Cole, illustrator, of, The Boy Who Paints, generously donated a copy of their book to every elementary school in Langley. Lucky Richard Bulpitt students in Divisions 1, 2 & 3 enjoyed a book presentation and a chance to paint like an artist. Their works of art can be seen on display in the Richard Bulpitt Gallery AKA, the Learning Commons.
Marilyn Richardson, President of the Langley Teacher-Librarian Association, accepted the books on behalf of the district . Students in Divisions 1, 2 & 3 are excited about the special presentation tomorrow from Jane Watt & Richard Cole - The Boy Who Paints.
