DiCamillo, the award-winning author of such favorites at Flora & Ulysses, Because of Winn Dixie, The Tales of Despereaux, and Leroy Niker Saddles Up, was named Ambassador by the Library of Congress for 2014 - 2015.

"When we read together, we connect," says DiCamillo. "Together, we see the world. Together, we see each other."
The theme of hope and belief amid impossible circumstances in a common thread in her own stories, and they are well-beloved because of these themes. We know this will be an evening of magic for all who come to listen!

Winner of the 2014 Newbery Medal Holy unanticipated occurrences! A cynic meets an unlikely superhero in a genre-breaking new novel by master storyteller Kate DiCamillo. It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic bookTerrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry — and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart. From #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric, endearing characters and featuring an exciting new format — a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic sequences and full-page illustrations, all rendered in black-and-white by up-and-coming artist K. G. Campbell.

Award winning author Kate DiCamillo spearheaded this event by writing a letter to her fellow writers and illustrators asking them to volunteer at their favorite bookstore this May 17 in honor of Children’s Book Week. Instead of handselling books, this time around authors are being asked to read from a children’s book of their choice. “The point is to read aloud, to celebrate stories and to celebrate the indies who work so hard to put our stories in the hands of readers,” said DiCamillo. City Lights Bookstore will have Anna Browning and Deanna Klingel as our guest storytime readers on that day. Anna Browning will be at the store for the first part of the day and is the author of Tanner Turbeyfill and the Moon Rocks which is a delightful story about a young boy who has always wanted his own moon rocks. One night, while documenting a full moon from his tree house Observatory, Tanner notices the moon starting to brighten into a blue color! What will this mysterious light do? Cashiers author, Deanna Klingel has written several books for both children and adults including Avery’s Battlefield and Avery’s Crossroad, two books in a series for young adults about the Civil War. She will share some of her favorite children’s books in the afternoon. So join us at City Lights Bookstore on May 17th to celebrate children’s literature. For questions please call the bookstore at 828-586-9499.

She grew up in Florida and moved to Minnesota in her twenties, when homesickness and a bitter winter led her to write Because of Winn-Dixie -- her first published novel, which became a runaway bestseller and snapped up a Newbery Honor. The Tiger Rising, her second novel, was also set in Florida and went on to become a National Book Award finalist. Since then, the best-selling author has explored settings as varied as a medieval castle and a magician's theater while continuing to enjoy great success, winning two Newbery Medals and being named National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. She now has almost 30 million books in print worldwide.
Now, for the first time ever, Kate DiCamillo is returning to the world of a previous novel to tell us more about a character whom her fans already know and love. In Louisiana's Way Home, set two years after the events of National Book Award finalist Raymie Nightingale, she picks up the story of Raymie's friend Louisiana Elefante, who uncovers difficult truths about her past -- and makes choices that will determine her future.
Kate DiCamillo's books' themes of hope and belief amid impossible circumstances and their messages of shared humanity and connectedness have resonated with readers of all ages around the world. In her instant #1 New York Times bestseller The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, a haughty china rabbit undergoes a profound transformation after finding himself face down on the ocean floor -- lost and waiting to be found. The Tale of Despereaux -- the Newbery Medal-winning novel that later inspired an animated adventure from Universal Pictures -- stars a tiny mouse with exceptionally large ears who is driven by love to become an unlikely hero. The Magician's Elephant, an acclaimed and exquisitely paced fable, dares to ask the question What if? And Kate DiCamillo's second Newbery Medal winner, Flora & Ulysses, was released in 2013 to great acclaim, garnering five starred reviews and an instant spot on the New York Times bestseller list.
Born in Philadelphia but raised in the South, Kate DiCamillo now lives in Minneapolis, where she faithfully writes two pages a day, five days a week.  | |
