Big Read in Poughkeepsie
Poughkeepsie Public Library Big Reads school visits!
I had a chance to visit virtually with four schools and lots of students this past week. I love speaking about Tuyet’s early life, the challenges she faced and how she overcame them. Tuyet, you are my hero! Here are some class pics — faces hidden behind books! Thank you, educators and students from Evans Elementary, Fishkill Plains, Sheafe Road and Kinry Road!
2021 Big Read and Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars
I’m delighted that Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars is a selected book for Poughkeepsie’s 2021 Big Read, coordinated by the Poughkeepsie Public Library District. I’m looking forward to connecting with lots of students in the upcoming weeks. And take a look at this beautifully constructed diorama:
