Writing Workshop with Nicholas Willmer-Shiles

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for our writing workshop with Nicholas Willmer-Shiles! Through writing prompts and a five senses exercise young writers captured and shared family stories and traditions. Check out Nick’s wonderful debut picture book, Snowball and Me, for all things food, family and fuzzy!🐱🥙
