Susan Hughes
The Hackmatack Book Club and Mrs. Hickey's grade 5/4 class went to the Confederation Centre Children's Library to hear Susan Hughes. Susan is the author of Canada Invents, a book nominated for the Hackmatack Children's Choice Award for Nonfiction.
| This is Susan Hughes. She is the author of many fiction and nonfiction books. She lives in Toronto with her husband and three children. | |
| She showed us examples of books she had written and explained to us how she researched them. The book she is showing us is about a prehistoric shark. | |
| Susan Hughes and her daughter showed us how a book is designed before it goes to print. We didn't realize how many steps there are to publishing a book. | |
| This nonfiction book she is working on is about the building of the railway. | |
| She autographed St. Jean's copy of the book Canada
Invents. Its a great book about things that were invented by
Canadians.
Did you know that a Canadian man invented Basketball? |
|
| We were a very interested group of future writers! | |
| We thanked Susan by giving her a pen from our
school.
We learned a lot and we really enjoyed ourselves! |
