Patrick Carman Visits Sunset View Elementary
back
Best selling author, Patrick Carman, visited the Sunset View Elementary third through fifth graders on December 18, 2007.  His writing experience began with the telling of bedtime stories to his two daughters.  As he told the stories he began "journaling"  and sketching impressions of his characters.  This  became the Land of Elyon series.  Carman  lives in Walla Walla and has begun his second series entitled Atherton.  His next project will be books for 1st and 2nd graders due to be released in March.  For more information about his books visit the websites below:
