Subject: [MSLAmembers] Katie Milway Smith at the 2014 MSLA Conference

 
Hi all,
 
Hope you all plan to join us at the MSLA Conference in Hyannis March 9 & 10. If you are still on the fence, check out presenter Katie Milway Smith’s awesome website and her book “One Hen”, based on a touching true story of a young African boy. This is truly a “global village” book; it has a strong community message and introduces the concept of microfinance to our young readers. I saw Katie speak at the Foundation for Children’s Literature last year and she was so inspiring. You won’t want to miss it!

Katie also has a new book out, “The Good Garden”, raising awareness and connecting activities to reduce the global food crisis.

Both websites are just bursting with lessons, ideas and links to help engage your students and communities. I am seriously considering using one (or both!) of these books for our Summer Reading program this year. If you haven’t registered for the conference yet, click here:

Hope you will join us!!!

It is not books you need, it's some of the things that are in books. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.”
