Join Meridian Library District and the West Ada School District for a special author visit.
John Schu has made a career out of advocating for the people and things he cares about most: kids, books, and the people who connect them. He is the children’s librarian for Bookelicious and the New York Times best-selling author of 'Louder Than Hunger'; 'This Is a School,' illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison; 'This Is a Story,' illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Lauren Castillo; 'Ruthie Rose’s Big Idea,' illustrated by Holly Hatam; 'Lily-May’s Joyful Day,' illustrated by Holly Hatam; and 'The Gift of Story: Exploring the Affective Side of the Reading Life.' John Schu lives in Naperville, Illinois.
John will share about his book 'This Is a Story' and the impact of words, libraries, and books. Other works will be touched on as well. We will enjoy an interactive session, and then John will be on hand to sign copies of his books. Attendees are encouraged to bring personal books, or there will be the ability to purchase from Idaho Book Fairs while onsite.
