Author Lee Harper Visits with Blue Ridge Kindergartners

Lee Harper visited Kindergarten on Thursday, November 14, 2013.  He told us about his childhood and how he started drawing.  He likes to think of basic shapes, then turns them into characters.  He read three stories to our children.  Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski and illustrated by Lee Harper, Snow! Snow! Snow! by Lee Harper, and Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano and illustrated by Lee Harper.  Afterwards, our Kindergartners learned how to illustrate just like Lee Harper.  They each drew a character from the stories.  Each child received a free signed hardcover book, Turkey Trouble.

This event was arranged by Historical Society & Free Library Association from Susquehanna County.  Funding was made possible through the support of Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, Pump N Pantry, and RESOURCE Environmental Health and Safety.
