On November 5th, second to fifth grade students had the privilege of meeting author Janet Tashjian and her 20 year old son, illustrator, cartoonist, Jake Tashjian. Mrs. Tashjian has written 14 books for elementary school children through young adult. Her series about "Humphrey the Class Hamster" and her "My Life As" series are very popular with Vintage students and ALWAYS checked out, according to our librarian, Mrs. Forbes. Students attended presentations where Mrs. Tashjian inspired students to write, re-write and enjoy the process. She reviewed synonyms with the students as they guessed each caricature that her son, Jake drew for them. These special illustrations were autographed and will be displayed in our library. How great it was for students to have a visit from both an author and an illustrator. It was a great day!
