Hi Cheryl!

Since it's late in the planning process, here is the list of CT authors and illustrators who live in CT from Linda Williams at the State Library...

There is also this great list from Lee and Low

Plus, Nikki Grimes has a list 
Persons of Color Literary Panel for Young Readers Resource List

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for asking that question, Jaclyn.  I'm in the same boat, so I'm looking forward to reading responses.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the LMS position this year and was looking to get some advice/help in securing and researching authors' visits.  I am planning on a #Appreciate Diversity Celebration during the month of April and was looking for authors who write diverse literature.  Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any links or authors that I can look into?  I've tried emailing publishers and authors outright and so far have had no luck or responses.  Are there any suggestions for inexpensive visits, virtual would be fine as well, and also specific authors?

I would really appreciate your help with this!  The students would be beyond inspired!

Thank you ahead of time!
