FANTASTIC visiting author - Rita Williams-Garcia

It is wonderful to see how the students at Bildersee have embraced the library program. I see many students who love to read. Each student has a favorite type of reading (historical fiction, sci-fi, how-to books, self-help, etc.) Regardless of their favorite genre, Bildersee students will soon have the opportunity to meet and talk with a celebrated author of young adult novels right here at school.

I have exciting news for the Bildersee community. Rita Williams-Garcia will be in the library next Wednesday, May 20th to share her life story and her works of teen literature. Some of her published titles include Like Sisters on the Homefront, Jumped, No Laughter Here, Blue Tights, and Every Time a Rainbow Dies. Her novels are real page-turners, full of realism, humor and hope. Ms. Williams-Garcia is a true New Yorker who grew up in Queens, so Bildersee students can relate to the settings, characters and situations in most of her stories. Parents are welcome to come and sit in on her presentations. She will be presenting in the morning and the afternoon.

Come and help us celebrate RITA WILLIAMS-GARCIA DAY at Bildersee - May 20th, 2009.

Sorry I didn't get this comment in time to respond in a timely manner. I have reset my comment settings on the blog. So, hopefully, this will not be a problem in the future. I'm glad you brought the issue to my attention. You are my vote for parent-of-the-year!
