March is Reading Month Author
We are excited to bring in this year’s March Is Reading Month author, Peter Raymundo.

He is now a writer and illustrator of children’s books such as The Monkey Goes Bananas and The Lazy Hippo, and a chapter book series, The Third Grade Mermaid. He will be discussing story structure, drawing, creativity, and story basics along with drawing demonstrations for each grade level during school on March 25th.
