Kid Lit Star Kate DiCamillo will speak on Friday, August 29 at 7 p.m. at the Takoma Park Community Center Auditorium. DiCamillo, who is the current National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, won the 2014 Newbery Medal for her book Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures, and she’ll talk about that book, her 2004 Newbery Medal-winning book The Tale of Despereaux, her latest book, Leroy Ninker Saddles Up, and more. DiCamillo will sign books at the end of the program; books will be available for purchase, courtesy of Politics & Prose Bookstore. But no purchase is necessary to attend this free – and very special! – program.
