Children's Author Visits Central Ridge

Timothy Weeks, the author of two popular children's books visited Central Ridge Elementary on November 5th to share with our students his stories, how he became an author, and how his mother, the illustrator of his books, creates the amazing photo-realistic drawings in his books. Weeks' two books; The Wise Old Mullet of Cook Bayou and Ol' Middler Saves the Day share the tales about courageous mullet that learn lessons about perseverance and friendship.

Mrs. Jeanne, Timothy's Mother and Illustrator, shared the various techniques she used to create the wonderfully illustrated, and culturally significant tales. Both Ms. Jeanne and Weeks shared with the students that their books came from their life experiences. The students especially enjoyed Mr. Week's cast net demonstration!
