Multi-award winning author Jerry Craft is visiting Houston’s Brown Sugar Cafe & Books next Friday, July 1, and I’ll be the MC! I had already marked the event in red on my calendar, just to be an audience member, so it’s an especial honor that the store selected me for this role. I can’t wait to hear all about Jerry’s writing journey and learn more about his acclaimed graphic novels, NEW KID and CLASS ACT. NEW KID is winner of the Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award and the Kirkus Prize for Young Readers’ Literature.
If you’re in the Houston area, I hope you can join us for the special July 1 event, which runs from 6-8 p.m. at Brown Sugar Cafe & Books on 5330 Fry Road, Katy, TX.
