Prolific children’s author Troy Cummings talks with second graders in the library at Ada Schools on Monday.
Cummings has had a part in writing, and sometimes illustrating, 32 books. He is currently on a tour of northwest Ohio schools. The Greencastle, Ind.-based writer spoke with Ada children in grades 1-5.
The students have read several of his books and worked on art projects that correlate with Cumming’s books.
