Matt Tavares The fifth grade was very fortunate to have an author visit. Author and illustator Matt Tavares came to talk about the process of becoming an author. Zachary's Ball, Mudd Ball, and Becoming Babe Ruth are just a few of his works. He illustrated and wrote these books. He illustates books for other authors, such as Lady Liberty, by Doreen Rappaport. To welcome him, our class made a poster for him that we hung in the auditoriam. Matt even signed Mud Ball, another one of his books, for our class! All of the books that Matt Tavares writes are about baseball. He gave us an interesting tip on how to draw sports players; have somebody model for you, take pictures of them, and then use the pictures for guide lines of your illustrations. Thank you so much Matt Tavares! By Caroline

It put a smile on my face when we got those baseball pictures signed from Matt Tavares. Even though they were copies, they were still pretty cool.

I was very excited to hear that Matt Tavares was visiting Mill Pond! I was even more excited to meet him before the presentations! I think that the way he does his drawings, using people for models, is very interesting. Thanks Matt Tavares!

When Matt Tavares came last Friday, I was very excited to learn about how he drew and how he wrote. It was very cool to see him draw. I thought him using people as models to draw was very cool.

The author visit was really exciting. I took mental notes on the drawing tips he gave us because I'm not that good of an artist. He really helped me improve my drawing skills!

When Matt Tavares came it was a very special experience to watch him draw. It was very cool to listen to advice that he gave us. We also heard alot of facts of Babe Ruth growing up. I learned alot about drawing and a lot about Matt as a kid. He drew his own baseball cards. He also lived really close to Fenway park.
