Today was a special day for Chicot scholars! Award-winning cartoonist and illustrator Shannon Wright visited our school! Every student got to hear her speak about her inspiration, how long it takes to make a book, and even how she manages frustration. Over 100 students got to meet her and get their books signed, but that wasn't all. She even met with the art club students to share her process and some of her techniques.

If you didn't get a chance to meet her or purchase one of her books, there will be two more chances. This evening, grown-ups can head to Pyramid Books from 5-7 pm for a viewing of the gallery of Wright’s stunning illustrations.
