Win a Visit from Katherine Paterson
Would your school or library like a visit from Katherine Paterson, the new National Ambassador for Young People's Literature?
The newly named National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature for 2010-2011 is Katherine Paterson, author of such critically acclaimed and popular classics as “The Bridge to Terabithia” and “Jacob Have I Loved.”
Paterson’s theme for her ambassadorship is “Read for Your Life,” and she will be carrying that message with her during her travels as National Ambassador.
