Janet Wong, award-winning author and poet, will be at the San Marino Public Library on Saturday, November 15th at 3:30 pm. Ms. Wong has recently published two new books, Minn and Jake, a story about friendship, and Knock on Wood: Poems About Superstitions.
Ms. Wong is a native of Los Angeles who now lives in the Seattle area. She has appeared on the Oprah show, at the White House Easter Egg Roll and at the National Book Festival. A graduate of Yale Law School, she left her career as a lawyer to write for children and teens. Some of her award-winning books are, Buzz (an LA Times Best Book of the Year), Apple Pie 4th of July (Charlotte Zolotow Award), and Behind the Wheel: Poems About Driving (an ALA/YALSO Quick Pick for Reluctant YA Readers).
During her one-hour library program, Ms. Wong will talk about her two newest books, and she will also talk about writing for publication. The program is suitable for ages 5 and up. Ms. Wong will be available to autograph books after her presentation, and some of her books will be on sale at the library. Refreshments will be served after the program. So come join us at the library for a wonderful family event!
