In addition to reading her books, Jessixa shared her process for writing and illustrating. Jessixa walked students through the steps she takes to draw “Buckley the Beaver” from “Boats for Papa.”

Each student received a bookmark with an illustration from “Laundry Day” as a gift from Jessixa.

Lake Forest Park Elementary students and Teacher-Librarian, Frank Kleyn, thank Third Place Books and Jessixa Bagley for the terrific visit.
