MBE holds Writers' Festival

Mountain Brook Elementary students recently enjoyed a three-day Writers’ Festival. The an annual event is sponsored jointly with Cherokee Bend and Brookwood Forest elementary schools to showcase authors, illustrators, and other creative fields such as photography or music.  

Students heard the writers discuss their books, and Lancer League Squires introduced the special guests. Each afternoon, the writers were available to sign their books for students who had purchased them.

Featured this year were: Jason Chin, author and illustrator of award-winning nonfiction such as Gravity, Island: A Story of the Galapagos, Redwoods and Coral Reefs; Lisa Wheeler, author of books such as Boogie Knights, Sixteen Cows and Dino-Football; and Matthew Holm, co-author of graphic novel series Babymouse and the Squish series.
