Four weeks from now, SAS Pudong will host two wonderful authors, Kwame Alexander and Todd Parr for the week of March 14-18. Hooray! More about Kwame later; you will certainly be enthralled by the presentations of last year’s Newbery Medal winner for The Crossover.

We are fortunate to have Todd all to ourselves for the week in our Elementary School, whereas Kwame will be presenting mostly in the Middle School, and also to our Upper ES students.

Todd is a renowned author and illustrator originally from Wyoming, and more recently San Francisco and I can’t wait to see how much fun our students have learning from his many creative experiences. Todd has written a gazillion books for kids, truly, a gazillion, and even has his own TV show. Wow!!!

We already have many of Todd’s books for sale in the Elementary Library, they are priced from 30 rmb to 80 rmb. Thanks to our generous PTSA Eagle Store, every Elementary Student will also receive ONE Todd Parr book free of charge; aren’t we lucky? Thanks Pudong PTSA More details on the available books will be sent home with your child in the coming weeks; we want to make sure you have the opportunity to pick up some wonderful Todd Parr books, as an autographed book makes a wonderful keepsake or gift.

For now, start counting down…the Todd Parr experience is on its way!
