Caldecott Award-winner visits with Tenacre students

Author and Illustrator Lauren Castillo gave two presentations this morning to Tenacre students. After speaking with students from PK through Grade 1, she worked with second and third graders. The 2015 Caldecott Award-winner for Nana in the City, Castillo spoke about her journey as an artist and how she creates a book. She ended the younger presentation by reading Nana in the City.
In addition to writing and illustrating Nana in the City, Castillo wrote and illustrated The Troublemaker and Melvin and the Boy. She has also illustrated several critically acclaimed picture books, including Twenty Yawns by Jane Smiley, Yard Sale by Eve Bunting, and City Cat by Kate Banks.
