On Friday, two 4th grade classes had a special visit from cartoonist Stephen McCranie! He is the author/illustrator of the graphic novel series
Mal and Chad (click on the link to find out more about his books and comics!) Stephen started out by introducing himself and showing the students the computer he uses to create his art.

He then shared his screen with us, so we saw him creating as he talked! Stephen shared drawing tips and story ideas. He took ideas from our classes and created a story starter and a custom drawing! Zervas 4th graders had many questions for Stephen and he answered them all while drawing away for us. It was an experience the students will remember! I had borrowed some Mal and Chad books from the public library and those went home with eager readers. I already have holds on the books that I've ordered that haven't even come in yet. We were able to video some of the visit (with Stephen's permission!) to share with Mr. West's class who couldn't make it to the presentation. It was a great way to spend a Friday afternoon in the library. Thanks for a great visit Stephen!
