We had so much fun at the first of our two-part after school "About the Author" series. Eric Carle was our featured author. We learned fun facts about Mr. Carle heard his speak about artwork, we read books, made an awesome butterfly craft and participated in a flannel board story. Check out the video here. Thanks to Radnor's Teen Coordinator Molly Carroll, for fashioning a giant Hungry Caterpillar for all to enjoy.
