ALA 2013 in Chicago, IL

I enjoyed signing books at the ALA Conference in Chicago, IL. I sold out of books and had to sign bookplates! I met a lot of wonderful people. The librarians and teachers truly make authors feel like royalty!

As Fast As Words Could Fly chosen as Picture Book of the Day!

Mia Wenjen, founder of PragmaticMom.com, was inspired by a school visit by Ruby Bridges and was searching for a children's book on civil rights. As she looked through a pile of books on her desk, As Fast As Words Could Fly found her! It had been patiently waiting for this moment. What an honor and privilege to have the book featured, reviewed and recommended by Mrs. Wenjen. And for a double-honor, Mrs. Wenjen compared Mason's story with Ruby Bridges' story.

Interview with Author Marianne Modica on the topic of Colorism in America today

I had the pleasure of meeting Marianne Modica, author of The R Word. She is an Assistant Professor in Early Childhood Education at Valley Forge Christian College. Her book focuses on exploring contemporary attitudes about race and stimulating discussions about present-day racial inequality on a structural level. As I was very interested in reading her book, The R Word, Marianne seemed to have shared a similar interest in reading my novel, Color Struck, which explores the concept of colorism from a young adult perspective. We became "instant" contacts and she was gracious enough to interview me for her blog: R is for Race. Honored by the invitation, I am pleased to share with you the link to read the interview, and also introduce you to Marianna's mission & purpose.

Pamela Tuck participates in Pine Forge "No Place for Hate" re-designation assembly

All school visits are special to me and I really enjoy connecting with my targeted audience. But being able to contribute to a school's mission and purpose to encourage students in the area of "teaching tolerance" was a unique and memorable moment for me. I was invited to attend Pine Forge Elementary School to help celebrate their "No Place for Hate" re-designation. This school was presented their 8th banner, which demonstrates their continual efforts in maintaining a "No Place for Hate" environment. It was a pleasure to witness and share The Adventure of Sheldon, the Mushroom & As Fast As Words Could Fly as reinforcing tools.
