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:

Virtually chatting with Lauren Tarshis at Malaprop bookstore

It was awesome to chat with Lauren Tarshis about writing historicals for kids, about what makes a person a reader, and how Charles Dickens influenced both of us. Thank you, Lauren, for turning so many young people into passionate readers and explorers of history!
