For Katie Hawkins, leaving her classroom at Brown Middle School and going home to work on her children’s book became a hobby.
“It was a bucket-list thing for me,” said the sixth-grade social studies teacher. “It was very enjoyable.”
Hawkins said she always knew she wanted to write a children’s story. This past summer she was able to publish her first book, “Where’s a FROG When You Need One?”
She is quick to say, however, that she’s not the only published author walking the halls of Brown Middle School. Assistant Principal Sylvester Carrington has published two books.
Most recently, Carrington published “It’s Your Word Against Mine.”
