ELLEN LEVINE, Author
January 17, Saturday, 2:00pm Henry Brown had an unusual nickname. He was called “Box” after people learned how he escaped from his life as a slave in the South by climbing inside a wooden crate and mailing himself to freedom in the North. Impressed by Henry’s plan and his courage to pursue it, author Ellen Levine researched and wrote what would become the picture book Henry's Freedom Box: A True Story from the Underground Railroad. Ellen Levine lives in New York state, but she is in Saint Paul this week as a guest lecturer for Hamline University’s M.F.A. Program in Writing for Children and Young Adults. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet Ellen when she gives a presentation today at The Red Balloon Bookshop about Henry’s Freedom Box, a Caldecott Honor Award book. (booksense)… (mais)
