A few months ago Brendan's teacher asked us if Brendan would like to be a part of a little Young Author's Conference here in town. A couple students from each class in several schools in town got together and shared some of their own stories and got to hear a local author speak. We of course said yes! Brendan is quite the author in the family. He is always making books and illustrating them. Over the past year his stories have evolved in complexity and his illustrations have also grown more detailed. Its been really fun to see him develop his skills, even though we spend a small fortune on paper (ha!). He works hard to spell the words himself and sometimes asks for help but likes to be really independent. I love to read what is going on in his head.
Each student picked for the conference had to put together a short story of their own and Brendan's teacher helped him put this together. He is really into crystals and special rocks right now so we weren't too surprised when he chose to write his book about them.
Enjoy!
