Colfax Avenue: Nikki Grimes is the prolific and award-winning author of more than fifty books. A Coretta Scott King Award winner and recipient of the 2006 NCTE Award for Excellence in Children’s Poetry, many of her titles have been cited as Notable Books by the American Library Association. Grimes, whose books include Dark Sons, Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope, and Voices of Christmas, will discuss and sign her new book for young readers A Girl Named Mister ($15.99 ZonderKidz), the story of a teenage girl who honestly and poignantly tells her tale of temptation and teenage pregnancy through free verse, and who finds support and forgiveness from God through a book of poetry presented from the Virgin Mary’s perspective.
