[ISLMA-Share] Author Visit Recommendation

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I too am curious about the age ranges for his book. Our elementary school’s theme next year is “the power of yet.” Grit and determination are a huge part of this.

Please let us know. If his talk can be tailored, I’d love to invite him.
