Bestselling Children’s Author Trudy Ludwig Presenting to Oak Grove & North Albany School Communities!
This October 2, students and staff at Oak Grove and North Albany Elementary
Schools will have the opportunity to spend time with children’s advocate and award-
winning author Trudy Ludwig.
Trudy will present to our students, with assemblies comprised of grade clusters (i.e.,
Kindergarten – grade 2; grades 3-5, respectively), so that she can address friendship
issues and social peer cruelty and in an age-appropriate manner. She will also
provide a staff in-service presentation later that day to help educators in their
ongoing efforts to promote safer social-emotional learning environments for our
students.
Trudy has been featured in U.S. national media outlets including ABC’s “Good
Morning America,” PBS’s nationally syndicated show, “Keeping Kids Healthy,” Wall
Street Journal, Huffington Post, and the National Crime Prevention Council’s Circle of
Respect program. She has also served as an expert panel member on Sesame
Workshop’s video series addressing bullying. Her books (My Secret Bully, Just
Kidding, Sorry!, Trouble Talk®, Too Perfect, Confessions of a Former Bully, Better
Than You, The Invisible Boy, Gifts from the Enemy, and Quiet Please, Owen
McPhee!) have received international praise for addressing friendship and bullying
issues and for helping children in kindergarten – grade 8 connect and engage with
their peers in kinder, more inclusive ways.
For more information about Trudy, her books, and other resources on the topics of
friendship and bullying issues, please visit the author’s website: trudyludwig.com .
