Children’s Book Author Visits Primary Day

Our Primary Day students and faculty recently enjoyed a day with visiting author, Candice Ransom.  Ms. Ransom, the author of over 115 children’s books, explained to the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children how she used childhood memories of growing up on a farm as the inspiration for her picture books focused on transportation.  The First and Second Graders learned how Ms. Ransom’s interest in history fostered her creation of the Time Spies series.  The students asked insightful questions about the writing process, shared artwork they created based on two of Ms. Ransom’s books and related their own experiences as budding authors.
