Fox Cities Reads
The 2012 Fox Cities Reads is underway! Pick up a copy of Make the Impossible Possible by Bill Strickland at your local library and join in community-wide discussions about the book. The author will visit the Fox Cities April 16-18 during the Fox Cities Book Festival.
Nancy Carlson is a children's book author and illustrator who has published more than 60 books, including I Like Me!, Get Up and Go! and Henry's Amazing Imagination. Ms Carlson believes life should be fun, especially for children, and her stories help children feel good about themselves and others. After graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a major in printmaking, Ms Carlson worked at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and shortly afterward became fascinated with children's books. She soon began writing her own stories and accompanying them with drawings and became a published author. In addition, each year she is a guest author and illustrator at over 150 school classrooms and has touched the lives of children across the country. Recognition for her published work includes several Reading Rainbow selections and the Children's Choice Award from the International Reading Association and Children's Book Council.
