Special Needs at Your Library,":
OPAL Schedule
Online Author Visit: Debi Gliori
Friday, Nov. 18
4:30 p.m.
Join Debi Gliori, author of No Matter What, for an online discussion
of her charming picture book that cleverly explores the theme of unconditional
love. No Matter What is the official selection for Kansas Reads to Preschoolers,
the Kansas State Library’s One State-One Book project for 2005 highlighting
the importance of reading to preschoolers. Ms. Gliori is the author and
illustrator of many books for children, including the very popular Mr.
Bear series. She won the Children's Book Award picture book section, and
was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1997. She lives in Scotland,
near Edinburgh.
This OPAL event will be held in the Auditorium.
