The
Junior League of Richmond invites you to our 8th annual Junior Book
& Author event! This year we are honored to welcome award-winning
author, Graham Salisbury, to Richmond. Graham's well-loved books are
inspired by his early life, growing up in Hawaii during World War II -
full of adventure, fun, and history. Some of his best-known works
include: Under the Blood-Red Sun, Lord of the Deep, Eyes of the Emperor, and Blue Skin of the Sea, and the Calvin Cocoanut series.
We are in for a treat when we hear his presentation - he’s a rock star in the Philippines, has surfed with sharks, taught college classes, skippered a glass-bottom boat, and has even swum for his life from a moray eel! Check back for updates as the main event approaches.

Junior
Book & Author was developed with the intent of reaching out to our
community's middle-school children, a demographic that often lacks
special literacy efforts by many other literacy organizations and
programs.
