Virtual Author Visit: John Patrick Green got his start in third grade by selling Garfield drawings to his classmates, proving that a lifelong career can begin in elementary school. Your class will be captivated as he reveals how an old joke, “What do you call an alligator that solves crimes? An InvestiGator!" was the inspiration for the hit series that children everywhere devour with joy. In addition to the InvestiGators and Agents of S.U.I.T. sagas, John is the acclaimed creator of the early-reader favorite Hippopotamister and the Kitten Construction Company. Don’t miss this chance to host a high-energy visit that will empower the aspiring authors and artists in your classroom.

Q & A time and door prizes will add to the joy! Corresponding Happy Hour with the speaker included with the purchase of the Author Visit.
