An evening with Leah Henderson through live online presentation via Zoom.  

. Leah Henderson is the author of the middle-grade novels The Magic in Changing Your Stars and One Shadow on the Wall, a Children’s Africana Book Award notable, and a Bank Street Best Book. Her picture books include Mamie on the Mound, and the forthcoming Together We March, and A Day For Rememberin’. Because many of the books she read as a child did not resemble the world she saw, her earliest stories came from a need to finish the tales and follow the real-life achievements and journeys of people and places she saw and learned about on her travels that were often overlooked. Through seeing the world, Leah has witnessed the richness that can be found within everyone’s individual story. That is why writing the world she sees is so vitally important to her.

Winners of the Write-On Jr. Short Story and Poetry writing will be annouced during the presentation. Write-On, Jr., is generously sponsored by The Gift of Carl Foundation.
