Students in all first grade classes heard the story Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk. In the book, Sam constructed a tissue box with a hole in it and a mirror inside. Above the box is a banner, held up with pencils that reads “Meet the Author” with an arrow pointing down. Mrs. Virtue created a replica for her students. Children in the book and all of the first grade students at Fair Haven found themselves staring into their own reflection when they leaned forward and looked in the box expecting to meet the author!! With the encouragement of Sam, the Library mouse, Students realized they all have an author within. Students then wrote and illustrated their own mini books, just like the young library patrons in Library Mouse.
