Prairieveiw's Author Night


This Tuesday evening we will be having an Author's Night at Prairieview.  Aaron Reynolds will be speaking to students and their families at 6:30 PM.  He is a New York Times Bestselling Author and has written many children's books, including Creepy Carrots!, Chicks and Salsa, and the Joey Fly, Private Eye graphic novel series.  He frequently visits schools and his highly participatory presentations are a blast for kids and adults alike.  He lives in the Chicago area with his wife, two kids, and four cats.  We look forward to meeting him!
