HUNTERSVILLE – During the past month, kindergartners at Chesterbrook Elementary at Birkdale have participated in various activities to learn about the process of becoming an author.

Students completed a study of author Eric Carle and met with Helen Kimbrough, author of the children’s short-story collection “Play Dates and Other Tales.” Kimbrough also helped students begin the process of writing, editing and typing their own books.

On Friday, May 27, the student will hold their inaugural “Authors Tea,” where they will share their completed books with each other.
