[CASL-L] Looking for a person of color for an author visit K-2

[Leslie Poulos]

Charles R Smith Jr is awesome for any age. Uses his own photographs and writes poetry and picture books. We (Silas Deane MS) had him for middle school but he would be great at elementary school as well. He is reasonable and in New England.
