Authors and Illustrators

"I recently worked with my library's Collection Services Manager to coordinate a visit from local picture-book author Jeanette Fazzari Jones. I would highly recommend her to any of you who are thinking about hosting an author program. he read and signed her new picture book, Meatballs for Grandpa. Then she led an interactive read-along which let the kids pretend they were cooking alongside the book’s characters. They continued to play with the kitchen toys long after all the books were signed. Jeanette also provided coloring sheets based on the book. Jeanette is a mom and kindergarten teacher, so she was very at ease with all of our kids. Most of the audience was in grades K-2, with a sprinkling of third, fourth, and fifth graders."  -Mary Landrum, Lexington Public Library
