ARGOS/PLYMOUTH – Writing is like showing beef steers? Really?
Yes, said author Michelle Houts, as she spoke to students at Argos Elementary and Washington Discovery Elementary in Plymouth Friday. She was in Marshall County to headline the Young Author’s Conference in Bremen the same evening.
Her children’s book “The Beef Princess of Practical County” was not unknown to the students at either school. They had clearly been reading (or hearing, in the case of younger students) the book prior to the author’s appearance.
