Dear Wolcott Families,
We are now accepting book pre-orders for our author visit with Grace Lin. Grace Lin will be visiting grades K-5 on Feb 11th with a snow date of February 29th. She will speak to grades K-5 about various topics including the real stories behind some of her books.
Pre-order signed, personalized copies of her books now with the attached sheet which is due no later than January 29th. You can pay with check, credit card, or exact change.
Students may also bring in previously purchased copies of her books to be signed during the visit.
A very limited number of books will be available for purchase the day of the event.
Looking forward to this fantastic opportunity for Wolcott!
Thank you to the Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools and the Hawkins Family's generous grant that is enabling us to have such an enriching experience at Wolcott.

About Grace Lin
Grace Lin is the author and illustrator of picture books, early readers and middle grade novels. Grace's 2010 Newbery Honor book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon was chosen for Al Roker's Today Show Kid's Book Club and was a NY Times Bestseller. Ling & Ting, Grace's first early reader, was honored with the Theodor Geisel Honor in 2011. An Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award nominee for the US, most of Grace's books are about the Asian-American experience because she believes, "Books erase bias, they make the uncommon everyday, and the mundane exotic. A book makes all cultures universal." See more about Grace and her work at www.gracelin.com.
