Finding the Heart of the Story
Ben Mikaelsen, author of Touching Spirit Bear, Tree Girl, and many others, will be the featured presenter at SRRC's fall event.
Joins us as Ben discusses the challenges faced in creating his books. Ben gives us a glimps inside his research as he tries to uncover the "soul of a story". These experiences include raising a 700-pound black bear, living with the homeless, working with Dolphins, attending Space camp, going undercover with Drug Enforcement Agents and living with the Maasai in Africa. The diversity of Ben's writing and research is what has made his books so appealing to students. This presentation will be both informative and entertaining.
