- Author and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka visited Hawthorne Elementary School on Monday to speak with students about the trajectory he took toward becoming an illustrator. “My hope is that they’ll be inspired to think about themselves as authors and illustrators,” Wohnoutka said. He started by showing students some of the steps he takes and tricks he uses to draw a picture. In his demonstration, he created a grumpy dragon holding a skyscraper for scale. - Sarah Kocher/Albert Lea Tribune
