During Chatterton School’s recent Pick a Reading Partner week, students and staff welcomed author/illustrator Peter Catalanotto to speak about his life and career. Mr. Catalanotto shared his creative process with students, beginning with how he finds inspiration for his work that culminates in a finished book, demonstrating basic strategies for coming up with ideas and developing them into works of literature.

Keeping with school tradition, Mr. Catalanotto’s handprint has been added to the special wall that displays the handprints of the many wonderful authors who have visited Chatterton through the years.
