Award winning author Victoria Jamieson visited Moravian Academy on March 27th.

Downtown fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth-graders as well as the Swain Middle Schoolers got the chance to meet Victoria as she presented a hands-on demonstration of her artistic and literary skills.

She explained the process of creating a book and drawing their pictures from concept to published work. She walked the students through a step by step instruction on how to draw a character in a story. She then described how she met her amazing co-author, Omar Mohamed, of her newest book *When Stars are Scattered* and what it was like to work on a graphic novel about life in a refugee camp. 

After her presentation, she joined a select handful of students for a lunch with the author. She brought smiles to the faces of students and teachers as she answered questions and signed copies of her book.
