Students are encouraged to read books by 25 local authors and fill out a passport to bring to specific local bookstores for a prize. Park, who is a Rolling Valley neighbor and author of The Royal Bee, The Freedom Trip, and Where on Earth is My Bagel?, is providing signed copies of her books for McArdle’s students and will be setting up a virtual author visit.
