Award-winning children’s book author reads to Lower Schoolers
Our youngest students enjoyed a visit from Georgia author Marcia Barnes on Friday, November 8.
Lower School students sat in rapt attention on the second floor of the library at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School to hear award-winning author Marcia Hawley Barnes read her two published works — Tobijah and A Day with Tobijah — on Friday, November 8.
Barnes, a Georgia writer and poet, was awarded the 2017 Georgia Author of the Year Award in the Children’s Book category by the Georgia Writers Association. Her stories are based on real animals that she observed, including an unusual duck that visited her backyard one day.
The students enjoyed listening to the stories and asking her questions afterward. She explained how to get a book published and in the Library of Congress, as well as encouraged students to continue writing and drawing.
