Grace Lin Visits Blanchard

On Tuesday, November 25 each class at the Blanchard Memorial School met Grace Lin, celebrated children’s author and illustrator.  Ms. Lin shared her work, both words and illustrations with our students including reading, storytelling, drawing, and explaining about her books, her illustrations, and the elements of Chinese and American culture that influence her work.  Many thanks to the PTF for sponsoring this inspiring event.   Also, thank you to the staff of the Sargent Memorial Library for allowing us to use their meeting room – it was ideal.
