Recognize that dog? That’s Larry from “Larry Gets Lost,” scampering around Roxhill Elementary School in West Seattle. The drawing is the result of a recent Roxhill visit from an author/illustrator who works on the “Larry Gets Lost” series, John Skewes, who attended high school on Vashon with Roxhill’s bilingual-instruction assistant Judith Kimmel-Ramirez – seen here introducing him to students:

While visiting Roxhill, Skewes worked with first through fifth graders on illustration techniques and “graciously gave his time to inspire students to think about a career as an illustrator,” as Roxhill’s head teacher Christopher Robert put it.

You can see the “thank you” drawing from Roxhill’s students by going here. The popular series includes “Larry Gets Lost in Seattle,” with part of the proceeds benefiting the West Seattle Food Bank, according to the LGL website. The next book in the series doesn’t stray too far from here – it’ll be “Larry Gets Lost in Portland.”
