Maine author Peter Brown gave two presentations on May 23 for students of three area schools.
Stratton, Kingfield and Phillips students in grades K-5 visited with the author inside the Kingfield Elementary School gymnasium. Brown talked about his journey to becoming a professional author and illustrator, did a drawing demonstration, and answered students’ questions.

Because of donations, each K-5 student at Stratton Elementary School received a signed copy of Peter Brown’s book “The Wild Robot.”
These presentations were made possible by the Carrabassett Valley Public Library’s Maggie Trafton Memorial Fund.
