World Read Aloud Day, 2022

Cover credit: Turine Tran

Kate Allen Fox, has written a beautiful treasure of a children’s book, Pando: A Living Wonder of Trees. I own it and I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who reads to children or spends time with children who read. (It’s available from Leopard Print Books, Barnes and Noble, your local bookseller, and Amazon.

On February 2, 2022, children’s authors will be offering FREE virtual readings to students everywhere through World Read Aloud Day (WRAD).

Kate is thrilled to participate this year and is offering six 20-minute slots to read her science-based, nonfiction picture book, Pando: A Living Wonder of Trees, which has been named one of the best books of the year by School Library Journal and Chicago Public Library.

If you are a teacher or a librarian and would like to sign up for one of Kate’s free visits, please register by following this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040d4fa4aa2fa57-world.

Your WRAD virtual visit will go something like this: 

1-2 minutes: Kate will give a quick introduction & talk a little about her book.
3-5 minutes: Kate will read aloud Pando: A Living Wonder of Trees.
5-10 minutes: Kate will answer a few questions from students about writing, science, environmentalism, or anything else on their minds.
1-2 minutes: Kate will recommend a couple books she loves (but didn’t write!) for the kids.

Please share this information with any educators who might be interested, and happy reading!

Having survived valve repair surgery and an experimental cardiac bypass at age 5, three years before it was an accepted medical procedure, Susan grew into the size of her overworked and enlarged heart. Maybe she thought she had enough to give it away -- twice. Both times, she had to retrieve the shattered pieces and puzzle them back together. She thanks her Dad for the only advice of his she ever followed to the letter: "Never get married. Learn to take care of yourself." So of course she is a writer. Susan has co-written a YA SciFi novel, and has three more novels in various stages of evolution. She's had several short stories published in other people's anthologies, some of which were contest-related. Let her tell you a story...
