Poetry, History, Music & Movement: Mother-Son, Author-Illustrator Visits with Carole & Jeffery Weatherford

Author Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrator/poet Jeffery Weatherford present solo and joint presentations featuring poetry and nonfiction books that connect the English/language arts and social studies curricula.
