Jacqueline Davies, a wonderful children's book author, is visiting Lower School on Friday, December 4th. She will be meeting with classes in kindergarten through fourth grade. Our second grade students have been reading her picture book The Boy Who Drew Birds during their bird study this fall and creating pictures of birds inspired by this book. This book is about the life of John James Audubon and how as a young person, he created a plan to learn where birds go each winter. Jacqueline Davies has written two other picture books as well for children ages of 4-10, The House Takes a Vacation and Tricking the Tallyman. The Lemonade War series is a chapter book series written for ages 8-12. An order form to purchase her books is being sent home this Friday, November 6 in student's Friday folders. If you wish to purchase a book and have it signed by Jacqueline Davis during her visit, return the form with a check made payable to Abington Friends School by Thursday November 12. The link below leads to her website. You can read further about her books and her life as an author.
