Children’s Book Author Signing: 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Bay Plaza Mall
Bring your child or young sibling to receive a signed copy of “Plátanos Go with Everything” by talented contemporary author Lissette Norman. Norman grew up in New York City to Dominican immigrant parents, and at a young age she had learned to embrace her transnational identity and incorporate both Dominican Spanish and English in her poetry. This approach combined with her talents led to her 2003 New Voices Honor Award win. Don’t miss this unique chance to meet the appraised author.
Norman hosts her own website archiving her accomplishments and works.
This event is free, but if you desire a fresh signed copy of “Plátanos Go with Everthing” tickets are priced at $21.04.
