Author Alicia D. Williams says, the inspiration behind her award-winning book, Genesis Begins Again , came from “trying to figure out” what she wanted to write. On this edition of Meet the Author, Ms. Williams shares the inspiration behind her picture books, The Talk , Jump At the Sun: The True Life Tale of Unstoppable Storycatcher, Zora Neale Hurston , and Shirley Chisholm Dared: The Story of the First Black Woman In Congress.

Students from Edgar Allen Poe Middle School ask thoughtful questions, via zoom and a roll-in about using picture books with middle grade learners rounds out the show.  For grades 4-8.
