I was over the moon excited when Sophie Washington: The Snitch was selected as River Oaks Elementary of Woodbridge, Virginia’s 2020-2021 One Book/One School, Book of the Year! The month-long event included various readings and activities, and I Zoomed in for a virtual visit on March 12. Each student received a copy of Sophie Washington: The Snitch, thanks to event sponsors, and readings from the book were uploaded on Think Big Experience podcast.
Special thanks to the school’s Reading Specialist, April Barrett, for presenting my books to the selection committee, and to Principal Aerica Williams, teachers, and staff for all your hard work and support. The excitement about reading and literature during my visit was infectious! Here are some photos from the month’s events:
