Thorburn Consolidated School was thrilled to welcome back author
Gerry O’Brien for the release of his fourth book, “Bubba Begonia and
the Bully.” Students were excited to hear about the newest adventure
with Bubba Begonia and his friends at Deerwatson Elementary School.
Before reading from his latest book, Gerry talked about himself as a
story farmer: each
story begins as a seed (idea), and then needs to be tended and cared
for in order to become a book.
Here are some responses from the students:

I loved how he had a book for his ideas. – Shelby Noel
I liked how he explained how he was writing. – Adelle Thomsen
I liked how he talked about story seeds. – Bradley Hale
