Join New York Times best selling author Grace Byers in conversation with Read to Grow Executive Director Suzannah Holsenbeck next Monday, November 2 at 12 noon. Young students from New Haven and Bridgeport will also have a chance to ask Grace their own questions about her work.
Grace Byers is an actress and activist known for her roles in Fox’s smash hit series Empire and Marvel’s The Gifted. As a multicultural, biracial CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Grace was bullied throughout her childhood, which inspired her first picture book, the New York Times bestseller "I Am Enough"—an ode to the empowerment of young girls. Her follow-up book, "I Believe I Can," celebrates both boys and girls as they strive for their highest potential.
To gain access to the event, you must purchase a book for yourself or Read to Grow (or both!) via this link.
A personalized event link will be sent to you the morning of the event. If you buy a book for Read to Grow, we will ensure that it is given to a child in Connecticut who does not have easy access to books of their own.
