Join us for the 47th Annual Author-Illustrator Program on September 26 & 27 featuring author Jerry Pallotta, author of the wildly popular Who Would Win? series! He has also written engaging, educational children’s books such as Icky Bug Alphabet, Underwater Counting, Dory Story, and How Will I Get to School This Year? There will be three opportunities to hear Jerry speak about his amazing journey as an author and his tips for writing engaging books for kids. A selection of books will be available for
purchase at each event.
School librarians, teachers, and administrators are invited to register for a Virtual School Visit with Jerry Pallotta on Thursday, September 26, 10-10:45 a.m. Kindergarten – 5th grade students will enjoy Jerry’s stories about his research and writing of Who Would Win?
