Author will visit schools

Children's author Chris Cheng will visit both Umina Public School and St John the Baptist Public School on Thursday, September 6, and speak about his new book Python.

The children are expected to hear the author speak about the process of writing and getting published.

Mr Cheng will dedicate and sign books for all the participants after question and answer time.

He has worked as a primary school teacher, helped in a science lab, worked in the education unit at Taronga Zoo and has run the Zoomobile.

He has also written historical fiction for the Scholastic My Australian Story series, a picture book and edited poetry collections.
