Author Jarrett J. Krosoczka Visits James W. Lilley Elementary School, February 28

Perseverance, optimism and above all a talent for visual storytelling, are traits that have benefitted Jarrett J. Krosoczka in his pursuit to become the award-winning author-illustrator he is today. From picture books that capture the raucous behavior of exploring your creative side and letting your imagination run wild, to a graphic novel series that follows the exploits of a super-hero Lunch Lady, all twenty books Jarrett has created in just eleven years as a published author, are infused with humor, heart, and a respect for his readers.

Jarrett will be at James W. Lilley Elementary School, in Sicklerville NJ on February 28, to read the students. Throughout the school day, Jarrett will meet each grade for fun activities.
