Robie Harris Has Been Writing Stories Since Kindergarten
Nonfiction and fiction author and Dalton grandmother of a current Dalton High School student Robie Harris visited the First Program in collaboration with the Library and Health and Wellness departments this past week. Robie writes books for young people about growing up, families, emotions, puberty, and nutrition. http://robieharris.com/

During Robie’s visit, she read What’s In There?, a book about siblings with a pregnant mom, for Grades 2 and 3 in House 91. In the library, she read Who’s In My Family?, a book that explores the similarities within and between families with K and Grade 1 students. After the readings, students asked thoughtful questions about the subject matter and Robie’s career as an author. Robie’s books will be available at the FP Book Fair on November 5 and 6. She will return to Dalton on February 28 for a parent workshop to discuss the development of children as it relates to her nonfiction books. It was a pleasure having Robie spend the day with us!
