Newbery Honor-winner Jasmine Warga and Ann Braden, author of the beloved novel THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS, take our virtual stage to share their new middle grade novels THE SHAPE OF THUNDER and FLIGHT OF THE PUFFIN. Jasmine's THE SHAPE OF THUNDER is a deeply moving story about friendship and loss—and how believing in impossible things can help us heal. Ann's FLIGHT OF THE PUFFIN is a heart-warming novel about how one small act of kindness ripples out to connect for kids dealing with bullies, unaccepting families, and the hole that grief leaves. During the event, Jasmine and Ann will discuss inspiration for their new books and answer audience questions.
