Middle School Visiting Author - Evening Family Event

We're bringing one of our favorite authors to all three middle schools this week - but we didn't want our families to miss out.
Join us Wednesday, November 17 from 7pm-8pm as renowned YA author Aisha Saeed comes direct to your living room!

Aisha Saeed is a New York Times Best selling author. Her heritage and experience as a second grade teacher help inform her approach to writing. Growing up, Aisha hardly encountered literature that represented different cultures. As an author, Aisha utilizes our human connection to take her readers on an informative and culturally diverse journey. Ms. Saeed's work also allows a window into experiences our students may not otherwise encounter.

"As a child, I never saw books featuring children who looked like me as the heroes of their own stories, and it is a moving experience now to have the opportunity to give children the opportunity to see themselves in print.” - Aisha Saeed

Additionally, Aisha is a founding member of the non-profit We Need Diverse Books which works to achieve their mission of advocating for "essential changes in the publishing industry to produce and promote literature that reflects and honors the lives of all young people."
