Guest Author, Jenna Rice ("Hank and the Baby") --Patty Kimberly, Project Coordinator
Jenna Rice, a local author, recently visited students at Glendale Elementary School, where she introduced her writing process and latest book entitled “Hank and the Baby,” a story about her beloved pet dog Hank.
After reading her book to students in grades K-2, Mrs. Rice explained how she came up with her idea of writing about her pet dog Hank. Students had the opportunity to ask questions about new project and the process of writing and publishing a book. At the conclusion of activities, all students were presented with an individual copy of “Hank and the Baby.”
