Tuesday evening – Newbery Medalist Katherine Applegate discusses her new kids’ novel, Wishtree (in the auditorium).
Note: in the spirit of the theme of "wishtree", participants are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food to the event. There will be collection bins outside the auditiorium for the Takoma Park Middle School's Difference Maker's Club Kokua Food Pantry, which serves families in local homeless shelters. Audience members also will be invited to write down their "wishes" for the world, their community or their family, and place them on the branches of the "wishtree" we've created for the event.
