Spend time with author Emily Jenkins as she talks about her exciting books! This event will take place live at the Southeast Library and is intended for kids ages 5-12.
About the program: In this Junior Lit Chat, Emily Jenkins will talk about her books and writing. Kids ages 5-12 are invited to attend. A limited number of copies of Harry Versus the First One Hundred Days of School will be given away to kids who register and attend.
About the author: A two-time Boston Globe Horn Book Award Honor winner and recipient of the Sydney Taylor Book Award, Emily Jenkins is a favorite with children for her humor and sensitivity. Toys Go Out and Upside-Down Magic are frequent all-school or “One Book, One Community” reads in elementary schools.
Jenkins’ latest middle grade book, Harry Versus the First One Hundred Days of School ties in to “one hundred days of school” curriculum and classroom celebrations. Her other middle-grade books include the fairy tale collection Brave Red, Smart Frog; the Toys series; and the New York Times bestselling Upside-Down Magic series (co-written with Lauren Myracle and Sarah Mlynowski). Picture books include All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah; A Greyhound, A Groundhog; Lemonade in Winter; Toys Meet Snow; and Water in the Park.
Jenkins loves empowering kids’ creativity, sharing storytelling techniques, talking about the history of fairy tales, and of course, celebrating one hundred days of school. With the very youngest readers, she talks about being active observers of the world around them.
