Our Author Spotlight this month is on David Shannon, a big favorite at Mills Elementary. One of our favorites is his autobiographical story "No, David!" The idea came from a book he made when he was five years old. It featured pictures of himself getting into trouble with the only words he knew how to spell: "No" and "David". His mother saved the book and showed it to him decades later.
