Skype author visit - Jason Chin

WOW! We had a great day today in the library! We had a Skype visit with author/illustrator Jason Chin! He wrote and illustrated Coral Reefs, one of the 2013-2014 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee books. The pictures tell a story and the words give lots of great information about coral reefs. We read the book this past Tuesday and then students came up with questions they wanted to ask. The kids had great questions about his writing and illustrating process. Mr. Chin talked about another book he wrote and illustrated as well as giving us a sneak peak at some of his upcoming books! It was a great experience for the students and for Mrs. Mathis and me! (Mrs. Mathis & I were beyond thrilled with the experience as this was our first author visit via Skype! I think we will try to do this again during the school year.) 
Thank you, Mr. Chin! We love Coral Reefs!

  1. It was amazing! The kids were great and Mr. Chin was incedible. He answered all their questions and showed them how he does the illustrations for a book. Awesome!
