What I Did Today: Abrams Non-fiction

Searching for Sarah Rector. Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, I've worked from home the last few days and have had the opportunity to devote some much needed time to an upcoming Abrams non-fiction title, Searching for Sarah Rector by the award-winning author, Tonya Bolden. A couple of sample spreads from this book about a remarkable young girl and a bit of forgotten American history.

Searching for Sarah Rector will be available from Abrams Books for Young Readers in Fall 2013.
