Calef Brown
Author/illustrator/artist Calef Brown visited Arrowhead Library. Students were expecting a blue elephant but were not disappointed that Calef Brown was more human than pachyderm. His message to students was not to give up! If you like to do something, do it! He said he was not a good artist in school. But he loved to draw. So, he kept on doing it until he became an author, illustrator, and artist!
Calef Brown explained that elephants have been his favorite animals since he took a trip to India
After the presentation Calef Brown took time to meet and take pictures with students who were inspired by his work. Mrs. Markle"s first grade class created artwork based on a Calef Brown Poem entitled "Painting on Toast."
