Hi Katie,
I hope all is well with you. I'm sorting out my plans for Singapore and AFCC and I'm wondering if you could share the following announcement with librarians in Singapore. I'm available for two days of school visits on May 30 and 31. My airfare is covered, so I will just need my fee and accommodation (probably just for 1 night). The Language Inside pubs on May 14 and has received some great reviews--there will be a launch event at AFCC.Thanks!Holly*******************Holly Thompson, author of the young adult verse novels Orchards (APALA Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature) and the forthcoming The Language Inside (May 2013), the picture book The Wakame Gatherers,and the novel Ash, and editor of Tomo: Friendship Through Fiction: An Anthology of Japan Teen Stories is available to do school visits in Singapore on May 30 and 31.
