Division 5 Author Study: Letter to Todd Parr

Division 5 students completed an author study of Todd Parr with Teacher Ms. Bains and Teacher-Librarian Ms. MacMaster.  Todd Parr is a popular children's book author and illustrator who writes about Love, Kindness and Feeling Good.

An author study gives students the opportunity to look closer at an author's life and body of work.  They evaluate the author's themes, characters, and writing style and make connections between their own experiences and those of the author and his/her characters.

Additional activities will include Todd Parr inspired self portraits which will be on display later in January.
