Linda Sue Park is Coming to Graded!
Your Graded Libraries are thrilled to be hosting award-winning author, Linda Sue Park, the week of Nov 27-Dec 1. Ms. Park is the author of more than 20 books, from picture books to novels. While at Graded, Ms. Park will talk with students in PK5-grade 12. She will also offer a parent presentation on Tuesday, November 28 from 8:15-9:00 am. Students in grades 4-8 who would like to meet Ms. Park in a smaller setting to talk with her about her books and about writing are encouraged to participate in our Essay Contest. Twenty-five students will be selected for a special lunchtime event. Ms. Park's TEDx Talk, Can A Children's Book Change the World?, will give you a glimpse into her thoughtful approach to reading and writing.
