Super interesting research about kids and comics!

Totally blown away by the amazing artists at Mound View Elementary! Super cool stuff!! 😃

I had a blast with you all today. Go Tullar Tigers! 🐯

[Neenah Joint Schools @NeenahSchools]

Author/illustrator @RickChrustowski stopped by Tullar Elementary today and spent time with each grade level talking about how he comes up with ideas for his writing, his experiences as an author and the editing process. He also guided the students through an art lesson!

We drew foxes and wrote stories at Three Lakes Young Author’s Workshop! Happy Earth Day, everyone ❤️🌎❤️

All signed and ready to GOOO! These are for kiddos in Wisconsin 😃

[Rick Chrustowski @RickChrustowski]

I had a blast working with kiddos in McFarland, WI! We had the best time drawing pictures and exploring figurative language 🤩

What a great idea! If they leave the plants up all winter along roads it might even help with snow drifts.
