Author Visit: Douglas Wood

Today, Mr. Douglas Wood came to visit our school. He told us a little bit more about himself...

Then, he told a story of rabbit having a dream...

Then he shared with us the covers of some of his books. We even got a sneak peek at his newest book which hasn't even been released yet! It will be available in stores next week.
Mr. Wood then invited us to sing a song with him...





We also sang a song about our very own spaceship...





The most important thing he wanted us to remember was:




1. Hold on to your dreams.



2. Do not give up.



3. Ask for help.


Thank you, Mr. Douglas Wood!
