Loudoun Teacher/Children's Author to Speak at Rust Library Saturday

Release, Loudoun County Public Schools:

Sycolin Creek Elementary third grade teacher and children’s author Sydney Dunlap will be a featured speaker at 2 p.m. Saturday, February 7th, in the Story Room at Rust Library.

Dunlap recently authored, “Jeremy Norbeck: Animal Whiz Kid,” a story about a fifth-grader who is a master of wacky animal facts. When his father loses his job, Jeremy tries to find a way to utilize his knowledge to earn money for the upkeep of his assorted pets.

The audio-visual session is designed for children in grades 3-5, but all ages are welcome. The presentation will begin with an interactive slide show filled with amazing animal facts, followed by a behind-the-scenes look at how a book can grow from an idea to a published product.

Dunlap loves spending her days with her students at Sycolin Creek and has worked for Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) for 18 years. A devoted animal lover, she lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, two children, two dogs and three cats. “As you can see,” said Dunlap, “the people in our family are outnumbered by the pets...but we all like it that way.”

Dunlap’s book is available online via Amazon.com.
