Oh wow! I can’t tell you how happy and proud I am that Permanent Record was chosen as the teen title for the Suburban Mosaic Book of the Year program 2014-15!
Similar to Chicago’s One Book program, Suburban Mosaic serves a consortium of suburban school districts and libraries in northern Illinois. This reading list selects books that highlight issues of racial and social justice and that strive to break down the barriers between people.
I will be doing events and programs over the next year with the participating organizations, which include about 14 libraries, 10 school districts, and 2 colleges, so check my Events link under Media/Appearances in the future to see if I will be appearing at a school or library near you!
