[LM_NET] Author Visit

[Chris Evans <cevans@CUSD220.LAKE.K12.IL.US>]

Hi all...

We are planning our author visit for next year. One of the author's that we are 
considering is Deborah Ellis.
Breadwinner was nominated a few years ago as a Rebecca Caudill Award book in 
Illinois.  I looked at her website and liked what I saw.  Her message is strongly 
concerned social justice, diversity, and, of course, women's roles.

Several people have heard her speak at a public library gathering in a nearby 
suburb.  The concensus was that she was great.

However, speaking to a large group of students can be a very different thing.  Have 
any of you heard her speak at any state/national professional meetings or have any 
of you had her visit your school?

I would really love to hear your feedback.  Will be happy to post a hit with 
opinions.

Thanks so much!
Readingly yours,
Chris
