Like so many educators, Kevin Garrahan, Fairfax County Public Schools educator, has published stories for kids of all ages. This special edition of Meet the Author celebrates educators who walk the talk—writing for critical acclaim as well as fun.
During the program, Garrahan shares his insights about the writing process and discusses his novel, Third House Down Hidden Cove. Garrahan talks with students about the experiences that influenced his writing, bullying, and answers questions from the students in the audience and via telephone. Video roll-ins include Oak View Elementary’s afterschool Writer’s Club with aspiring author and reading specialist Cyndy Unwin; and published author and library media specialist Jackie Hechtkopt (aka Jackie Jules) shares her love for reading and writing with her students.
