Author Michael Shoulders visits AEEC!

We had a wonderful visit with children's author Michael Shoulders today!  He was very funny and told us all about himself and his family.  He also did a magic trick for us to start us off!  He showed us where he writes his books and told us about the the things he does when he is working on a book.  We even got to see how the pages are put together when the book has been finished!  Who knew meeting an author could be so cool?
This is what a book looks like before the pages are cut apart!




Everyone had a great time!


We learned that he does research before he writes a new book.

Casey was our light man for the show.  Each time Mr. Shoulders said, "Light Man", Casey had to run across the room and turn the lights on or off!



Light Man did such a great job, he to wear the Indian Chief headdress!






 We finished with a rap song about one of his books!
