Brian Pinkney
*New York Times Bestseller
*Two-time Caldecott Honor Winner
*Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Winner
Our students and teachers are still buzzing from Brian’s inspirational visit. His interactive presentation made a lasting impact on our lower and middle school communities. Brian’s messages of wonder and desire encouraged our students to write their own stories, and to think outside the box. Brian motivated our students and empowered them to reach for their own creative potential.
