I am pleased to announce that a new book has been selected for Kids Reading Across Rhode Island 2011! The wonderful book which we will be celebrating all year is Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin. The book was a Rhode Island Children's Book Award nominee for 2011 and is one of my favorites! I blogged about it during my Summer Reading 2009 book challenge and can't wait to re-read it again this summer and talk about it with all of you!
The kick-off celebration will be held on Saturday, May 14th from 12:00pm - 3:00pm at the State House in Providence. Grace Lin will be speaking at 1:30pm and 2:30pm, there will be a book sale and signing and participating families will receive a free copy of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon! The Newport Public Library will also have a table set up with crafts and activities to get you excited for the upcoming summer reading program, "One World, Many Stories." Be sure and stop by and say hello!
