Hello, Connecticut Association of School Libraries,

I hope this finds you well! Thank you for all you do for school libraries.
Your work is essential and I am so grateful for all you’re doing to promote
literacy and a love of reading!

My name is Kailei Pew and I am the author of the upcoming Scholastic
Branches series, SUPER VILLAINS IN TRAINING. This early chapter book is
designed to help students transition into longer form reading.

I am partnering with illustrator Estrela Lourenço for a FREE, unique, and
educational virtual event for schools. We will be teaching students how the
publishing process works, reading selections from the book, and guiding
students in a draw along. Students will also be able to ask me and Estrela
questions about the book, publishing, and life as an author or illustrator.

Event details:
Wednesday, February 18th
1:00 PM Eastern Time
(Check your time zone)
Zoom Webinar
Recording Available to Registrants

This is such a unique opportunity to hear from an author and illustrator
team. And it’s completely free! We want to give teachers a great resource
for their classrooms and students an opportunity to learn from a published
author and illustrator.

The event will be a zoom WEBINAR, which is safe for schools! No one is on
camera except for the presenters and the general chat is disabled.

Classrooms can attend live or watch a recording made available to
registrants for one month after the event.

There will also be opportunities to WIN FREE BOOKS! There are no strings
attached. Simply register for free at:

I am hoping you will share this free event with the school librarians in
your network. I’m hoping to give back to teachers and librarians who give
so much in a meaningful way.

All my best,
Kailei Pew
