Toronto Children's Author Kathleen Gauer will read from her picture books (HIGH IN THE SKY, FOR NO REASON, THE WISH CARVERS, and BATHTIME FUN!). After reading each story and engaging the students interactively, Kathleen will talk to the children about how she came up with the ideas, how she wrote the books and also how much fun it is to be an author with books in libraries around the world. She will also answer questions at the end of the program. Kathleen's books focus on using your creativity and imagination and positive solutions to dealing with a classroom bully.
