Children’s author visits VHEW and VHEE

Children’s author Eric Litwin visited Vestavia Hills Elementary West and Vestavia Hills Elementary East in November, delighting students and teachers alike with his energetic and musical presentations. Litwin is the New York Times bestselling author of the first four Pete the Cat picture books and the author of the new musical series, “The Nuts.”  During his visit, he entertained audiences with exciting, interactive performances and stories from his books, including Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes and Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. He also treated everyone to some new material as he performed one of his new songs, entitled Purple Polka-Dotted Pants.

Litwin’s books have sold more than 1.5 million copies, been translated into seven languages, and won 15 state and national awards including a Theodor Geisel Seuss Honor Award. His visit was made possible by funds from the school’s PTO.
