In-Person Event with Renée Watson/Ways to Share Joy

Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an in-person signing with award-winning author Renée Watson to celebrate the release of her new book in the Ryan Hart series, Ways to Share Joy, on Wednesday, October 6 at 7pm CT. Renée will give a short talk, take audience questions, and have a singing line. 


This event will be held in our Downers Grove ( 5112 Main St, Downers Grove, IL), and pre-registration is required as space is limited.

 

More about WAYS TO SHARE JOY:

Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson continues her charming young middle grade series starring Ryan Hart, a girl who is pure spirit and sunshine.

Ryan Hart is caught in the middle. She has an older brother and a new baby sister, and she's in a friendship tug-of-war with two friends who both want to be her best best friend. How can Ryan think about being kind to a classmate who is relentless with his teasing? Or be her signature sunny self when her brother, Ray, pulls the ultimate prank?

But even when it seems like nothing is going her way, Ryan still looks for a way to see the bright side of things, refusing to let anything steal her joy, and finding ways to share it with everyone she meets.
