Robie Harris visits the library!

On Friday, October 19th, the award winning author Robie Harris visited the Little Dalton Library through the collaboration of the Library and Health and Wellness Departments. Robie is famous for her numerous titles of children's nonfiction and fiction books about growing up, families, emotions, puberty, and nutrition for young people. She is also the grandmother of a current Dalton high school student who happily attended one of her library sessions.

Prior to Robie's visit, Health Educator Janel Coleman assisted in K-2 classes alongside librarians Maria Alegre and Christine Nassar. During Robie’s visit, Robie read What’s In There?, a book about siblings whose mom is pregnant, for 2nd and 3rd graders in House 91. In the library, she read Who’s In My Family?, a book that explores the similarities within and between families, with K and 1st grade students.
After the readings, students asked thoughtful questions about the subject matter and Robie’s career as an author.
Robie’s books will be available at the FP Book Fair on November 5th and 6th, and she will return to Dalton on February 28th for a parent workshop to discuss the development of children as it relates to her nonfiction books. It was a pleasure having Robie spend the day with us!
