HOUGHTON -- Children's book illustrator Wendy Halperin will present "Drawing Children into Reading" at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Apr. 23, at the Portage Lake District Library in Houghton.
Halperin has years of experience in teaching children how to draw and linking artwork to literacy. Her work emphasizes the connection between the development of fine motor skills and the development of the brain.
This will be a hands on presentation for families and children. Halperin will teach participants how to draw. All art materials will be provided.
"In all of her workshops like this, the results have been stunning," said Chris Alquist, Portage Lake District Library Community Programs coordinator.
Please check Wendy's website at www.wendyhalperin.com. You will recognize many of the books she has so beautifully illustrated.
This program is co-sponsored by the Copper Country Reading Council and the Portage Lake District Library.
