Meet the Author! K.E. Lewis

Preparing for a plane trip might be hard enough, but what happens when you bring your pet rhinoceros with you? Chaos ensues!
With rhythmic, lyrical text and laugh-out-loud pictures, Never Take Your Rhino on a Plane is an instant classic that will delight readers from beginning to end. Join us for a special read aloud and Q&A session with up and coming author K.E. Lewis. K.E. was raised in Bishopville, South Carolina in a community “rich in generosity and Blackness” that sparked his love for words. Now, K.E. brings his love of teaching, writing, and community to his children’s books!
This event will take place at Independence Library (18 S 7th St).
Free books will be available for signing while supplies last. ALA attendees are encouraged to join!
