Our zoom meeting with Kwame Alexander (author of The Crossover) and Judy Blume (author of Fudge) at the Mena MIddle School Library was fantastic! They answered one of our student’s questions and we learned a little about building characters in our writing. The highlight was hearing Kwame read his own writing. Thank you Kwame Alexander!
