- “Not Norman” illustrator does live illustration of book for Santa Ana preschoolers
Last month, Jumpstart celebrated its 10th anniversary of Read for the Record with a shared nationwide reading experience of Not Norman: A Goldfish Story, written by Kelly Bennett. Jumpstart’s local Santa Ana Unified School District participants got a special treat when they gathered for their reading at the Heritage Museum of Orange County. Dr. David Haglund, Deputy Superintendent for Educational Services read to the preschoolers while the book’s artist, Noah Jones, illustrated the story in person.
