World renowned illustrator R. Gregory Christie, back from Stockholm, provided an in-depth description on the process of illustrating a book. “The children really enjoyed watching him create. He had each class come up with a story line and then they became the editors of his work. They made sure he had every detail they wanted,” noted Debby Wattenbarger parent volunteer. Story lines included:
Giant Apple and a Tiny Banana in the Rain Cooling Off
*Ms. Colacino’s class

Curious second graders asked Mr. Christie countless questions. He provided budding artists with a realistic sense of how often he must revise his work before he has a finished product.
