Michael Rex Author Visit

Michael Rex will be at McDermott for an author visit on the morning of Monday, March 3rd!

Our 2nd through 5th graders will have the opportunity to see his presentation. His presentation will cover the process of making a book, from the idea to the sketches and rough drafts, to the final art! Students will be able to observe him do a few live drawings and will have time for a Q&A session!

8:15 -- 9:00: 3rd & 4th Grade

9:15 -- 10:00: 2nd & 5th Grade

10:15 -- 10:45: Book Signing in the Library

Michael Rex will sign books in the library from 10:15 -- 10:45!

You can purchase his books from The Twig Book Shop online or turn in cash or check to Ms. Johnson in the library. You can purchase any of his books from a retailer of your choice too. Order forms are linked below!

Any students who would like to get their books signed will be called down to the library to bring their book and Michael Rex will personalize them!

Michael Rex has written and illustrated over 40 books for children, including the gruesomely hysterical, #1 best seller, Goodnight Goon. His popular sword-swinging Fangbone! graphic novels have been turned into an animated show that runs on Disney XD in the U.S., and many other markets worldwide. His work covers a wide range of styles, from the simple, goofy rhymes of Truck Duck, to heavily illustrated, yuck-filled Icky Ricky chapter books. He lives in New Jersey with wife, two boys, and a dog.
