Georgia author, Bettye Stroud, will visit Still Elementary on
Wednesday, February 20th. This is a makeup date for
February 5th. She will speak to students in all grade levels.
The program is offered through the Owl's Tree Bookstore
in Powder Springs and funded by Still's PTSA.
Ms Stroud is the author of several picture books that speak of
her African-American heritage, including Dance Y'All,
The Leaving, and Patchwork Path: A quilt map to freedom.
Her writing mission is to inspire young readers to meet
challenges by teaching them the stories of their forebears
who used courage and ingenuity to solve overwhelming
problems. Reading her stories gives the reader glimpses
into the past and connects the present to the future.
