Alyssa Satin Capucilli, author of the beloved Biscuit books, visited Clayton Huey Elementary School in early March to share insights into her writing process. Ms. Capucilli’s series, focused on a delightful puppy named Biscuit are loved by students everywhere; during her visit to Clayton Huey, many students brought their own copies of the books and stuffed animal versions of the dog. 

Throughout the day, each grade level attended a special assembly where they listened to Biscuit stories read aloud and learned about the many steps involved in the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to publishing a finished book. Ms. Capucilli also offered first-hand tips and encouragement for students who may one day want to pursue their own writing journeys.

The author visit was part of the school’s We Are Reading More—or, WARM—Week. This schoolwide initiative features themed book days and a variety of reading activities designed to spark excitement and deepen students’ interest in books.

The Biscuit series is celebrating its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of bringing smiles and cheer to Clayton Huey and audiences everywhere.
