Author Talk with Julia Moss @ THP South
About
Join us for a talk with Julia Moss, author of the children's book Wanderers. Wanderers is a sweeping, lyrical history of transportation that encourages young readers to wonder at human ingenuity while wandering through time and discovering some of the coolest vehicles invented along the way. First, there was walking, camel-riding, and canoes. Then, the invention of the wheel brought trains, bikes, and automobiles. Next, we took to the air with airplanes and rockets, and now there are new breakthroughs in sustainable travel every day. And what’s at the heart of each advancement? Human curiosity and inventiveness. Julia Moss is a children's book author and educator who lives in Berkeley with her family. After attending UC Berkeley and Mills College, Julia taught at Malcolm X Elementary for many years before becoming a teacher coach. She dreams up story ideas while wandering by foot, bike, and train. Wanderers is her first picture book. You can learn more about her at juliamosswrites.com.
