Join local author/illustrator and educator Jamar Nicholas as he presents "Here's a Hero in All of Us!" Through a "chalk talk" (talking while drawing!), Jamar will discuss the magic of cartooning and visual storytelling and cover important issues from bullying awareness, being a hero (in your community, for your family and friends, and to yourself), and the power of positivity as a young person.

Recommended for kids going into grades K to 6 and their families. 

Capricorn Books will be on site offering books to purchase which Jamar can then sign and personalize.

Mr. Nicholas has earned a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection for both his latest graphic novel LEON: WORST FRIENDS FOREVER (published Oct 1, 2024) and for LEON, THE EXTRAORDINARY, which was also recognized as a The Children’s Book Committee of Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year (2023).
