Young Authors conference is this morning
An award-winning author, McKissack has written nearly 100 children's picture books, young adult novels, and non-fiction biographies about African-Americans.
The program starts at 8:30 a.m. with breakfast for the Young Authors winners and their families, followed by McKissack's presentation and the awards ceremony. More than 400 people will attend the event at Junior High School.
The program celebrates excellence in writing for students in second- through eighth-grades, and more than 100 district students will be honored this year for their writing.
Best of School and Special Recognition students will be invited to participate in the Regional Young Authors Conference on April 26.
*************
KitKat didn't get to the next level, but she wrote and put herself out there for judging. She turned in a 30-page novella, fantasy genre, and worked hard. My Precious (think Gollum), I'm proud. Congratulations on your 3rd trip to the YA Conference.
