We were so fortunate that Zetta Elliott recently visited our 5th grade classes, giving them the inside scoop on her book Bird, a picture book for older kids. When talking about diversity in publishing she made us think about books as a mirror of our lives, a window into the lives of others and even possibly a sliding glass door to step into the story of someone else. Her path to writing captured everyone's attention and students wanted to stay even though it was 2:40! We want to read all of her great books. Thanks, Zetta! And a big thanks to the Brooklyn Public Library for sponsoring this visit.
