SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. (SNN TV) – Two Sarasota County teachers self-published their own children’s novels.
Justine Holcomb and Eric LoStorto are both fifth-grade teachers at Tuttle Elementary School.
Holcomb is a science and social studies teacher. She wrote her debut book “Cutie Pie the Pumpkin and Her Pollinating Pals.” The story’s about a grandmother and granddaughter who use scientific thinking and their problem-solving skills to grow their own pumpkin in time for Halloween.
LoStorto is a mathematics teacher. He wrote his second novel “Unlikely Superheroes.” The story encourages young readers to become “mathematical superheroes” by keeping “the right attitude and effort.”
The authors are planning to make several community appearances to share their stories with students and their families. This information was sent to SNN by Holcomb’s daughter, Alyssa Holcomb.
