2011 Guest Speaker:
Jon Scieszka

Jon Scieszka grew up with five brothers and taught elementary school for ten years. This may, or may not explain why he is the author of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!, The Stinky Cheese Man, Math Curse, Science Verse, the Time Warp Trio Series, the Trucktown program, the multi-platform Spaceheadz series, and a memoir entitled Knucklehead.

In 2009, Mr. Scieszka was named the nation's first Ambassador of Young People's Literature by the Library of Congress and the Children's Book Council. Having successfully served his two year term, Ambassador Scieszka now continues to enjoy his title and privileges as Ambassador Emeritus.

Ambassador Scieszka is also the founder of the non-profit, web-based literacy program, GUYS READ. The latest GUYS READ initiative is a multi-volume GUYS READ LIBRARY OF GREAT READING.
