SUMMARY:Author Talk & Book Signing with Cindy House
DESCRIPTION:Visit Obodo Serendipity Books to see Cindy House (Fiction\, June 2017) in conversation with Zach Miko about her memoir\, Mother Noise. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the opening of this “unexpectedly uplifting…masterfully crafted memoir” (Shelf Awareness\, starred review) Cindy\, twenty years into recovery after a heroin addiction\, grapples with how to tell her nine-year-old son about her past. She wants him to learn this history from her\, not anyone else; but she worries about the effect this truth may have on him. Told in essays and graphic narrative shorts\, Mother Noise is a stunning memoir that delves deep into our responsibilities as parents while celebrating the moments of grace and generosity that mark a true friendship—in this case\, her benefactor and champion through the years\, David Sedaris. \n\n\n\nThis is a powerful memoir about addiction\, motherhood\, and Cindy’s ongoing effort to reconcile the two. Are we required to share with our children the painful details of our past\, or do we owe them protection from the harsh truth of who we were before?

SUMMARY:Jasminne Paulino launches "The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez" with Lofty Pigeon Books
DESCRIPTION:Join Lofty Pigeon Books for the launch of The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez\, Jasminne Paulino’s (WFYP\, June 2023) powerful debut novel in verse about a neurodivergent seventh grader who dreams of traveling to the stars one day. \n\n\n\nJasminne will be joined by New York Times–bestselling children’s author Michelle Knudsen (WFYP\, MFA Writing Faculty) for a reading\, conversation\, signing\, and reception. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeventh grader Alex’s favorite things to do are watching YouTube videos of rocket launches with his Papi and spending hours on the NASA website reading about astronauts and planets. He even dreams of going to space one day himself\, and knows he’ll have to study hard in order to get there. \n\n\n\nBut Alex is in his grade’s SC (self-contained) classroom\, which means doing the same dull worksheets every day and reading books his sister read back in the third grade. Worst of all\, being in SC means nobody thinks he’s ready to join Ms. Rosef’s mainstream science class—the class Alex knows will be the first step on his path to NASA. \n\n\n\nWhen his teacher says “not yet” for the millionth time\, Alex decides it’s time to make a change. Now he’s ready to try everything he can to get the people in his life—his teachers\, his parents\, and the kids at school—to understand that he\, Alex Ramirez\, is capable of the extraordinary.
