About this Event
Come see Dr. Monica Ball, author of Why Am I Different- Grandma Birdie?. As the first entry in The Birdie Family series, it is more than a children's book; it's a movement fueled by love and commitment to celebrate individuality and combat victimization of children who are considered "different". Through the character Danny-Boy Birdie, who can whisper life into flowers, the story encourages young readers to embrace their unique gifts and find strength in their differences. It is also a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Grandma Birdie, Corrine Ivory "Bird" Taylor, and shows the profound impact a nurturing mother or grandmother can have. Dr. Monica Ball is a community activist, media personality (Real Talk with Monica), speaker, entrepreneur, non-profit founder, and author, who lives and works in Richmond, Virginia.
