Visiting Author: Maha Shehadeh

This week we were fortunate to have Maha Shehadeh, author of Raya's Globe visit our library. Mrs. Shehadeh is a special member of our community as a teacher and as mom to Zayd, Zeena and Layth. Mrs. Shehadeh read her delightful story to grade level groups from K2 -5 and talked the students about the writing and publishing process.

Students enjoyed the story about Raya who wants to find out where she is from and who explores each of the countries which are part of her life. Many of our students can relate to the feeling of coming from more than one place! The students also gained some helpful insights to apply to their own writing process.


Raya's Globe is available for check out in the elementary library. Thank you, Mrs. Shehadeh, for sharing your work with our elementary students!
