Author Visit

Author Sandy Phillipson and Illustrator Jenny Campbell will be coming to FES on Friday, March 30, 2012.
The Max and Annie project began in l999 with the publication of Annie Loses Her Leg But Finds Her Way and Max's Wild Goose Chase. Annie's book was based on the true story of Annie and a struggle with cancer that took her front leg. This book marked the beginning of an amazing journey, not only for Annie and Max, but for author, Sandra Philipson.

Sandra Philipson's educational programs have been given in over 450 schools in Ohio and the surrounding states in the last 12 years. All the activities listed have been extensively field tested and designed with both Ohio and other local states' literacy standards in mind.
The author, the dogs, and often the illustrator, strive to present an educational program that is interactive, educational, and memorable for children, teachers, and parents. Both the author and illustrator will be coming as well as their 2 dogs, Tak and Ollie.
