For tweens, teens, and adults.
Tweens, teens, and adults, join us on Zoom for an evening of inspiration and conversation with the bestselling and award-winning children’s and young adult author and poet. Kwame Alexander is the author of more than 30 books including the Newbery Award-winning book The Crossover, Newbery Honor/Caldecott Medal-winning book The Undefeated, and most recently, An American Story. As he shares his own publishing journey, Kwame will share ways to say yes to your story, persist in the face of rejection, and energize our communities to harness the power of words and storytelling for change!
