From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
Families, students, teachers, and children’s book lovers are invited to the Wood County District Public Library’s Meet the Author program with Caldecott Award-winning author and illustrator of “We Are Water Protectors,” Carole Lindstrom and Michaela Goade.
This prestigious author and illustrator duo will be visiting the library on Saturday, April 2 at 11
a.m. in the Atrium.
The Randolph Caldecott Medal annually recognizes the preceding year’s most distinguished American picture book for children. The winner of the 2021 Caldecott Medal, “We Are Water Protectors,” is inspired by Indigenous-led movements across North America and is a rallying cry to safeguard Earth’s water from harm and corruption.
This is a great opportunity for teachers and students to meet and listen to an award-winning author and illustrator, and a chance for children to meet their favorite book’s creators. “We Are Water Protectors” will inspire and educate adults and children alike.
During the program, there will be a book discussion where Lindstrom and Goade will discuss the creation of “We Are Water Protectors,” followed by a Q&A and a book signing. Books will be available for purchase from the Friends of the Library.
Goade will be virtually present while Lindstrom will be visiting in-person.
Registration is required, and seating is limited. To register, call (419) 352-8253, email woodkids@wcdpl.org, or visit wcdpl.org.
(Lindstrom and Goade will also present on Friday, April 1, at 5:30 p.m. as part of the university’s In the Round: a six-part speaker series featuring Native American Creatives.)
