Virtual Author's Day
Thank our Boyce PTO for generously supporting our library and sponsoring our Author’s Day events this year!
The Boyce Library will be hosting a virtual author visit with the acclaimed author Sharon Draper, best known for her award-winning book Out of My Mind. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to hear directly from Sharon Draper about her writing process, the inspiration behind her powerful stories, and her incredible journey as an author.
Out of My Mind tells the story of Melody, a young girl with cerebral palsy who has a brilliant mind but is unable to speak or communicate with others in the way that most people can. Melody’s journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring as she learns to navigate the world and find her voice.
Sharon Draper’s writing has captivated readers young and old, sparking conversations about empathy, perseverance, and the importance of understanding and inclusion.
Additionally, Out of My Mind was a Boyce Battle of the Books title last year and has recently been made into a movie that will be released on Nov. 22 on Disney Plus.
If your child would like to have their own copy of Out of My Mind or the other two books in the series (Out of My Heart and Out of My Dreams), Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley, Pennsylvania is offering Boyce students a 20% discount on these titles. You can order your books directly from their website, enter the discount code BOYCE20 at checkout, and I will pick the books up and deliver them to your child at Boyce. Please place your order before Dec. 15, 2024.
