Andrea Davis Pinkney
Author, Andrea Davis Pinkney gave the closing presentation at the conference today. She was one of the best author presenters I have ever seen. She is so eloquent, powerful and absorbing.
Andrea is an African American female author of children's true story novels and picture books.
In her presentation she spoke about her book, Ella Fitzgerald. The children's book is narrated by 'Scat the Cat Monroe' , who follows Ella throughout her life. Andrea reads and sings her text to the audience - amazing voice.
What is also so inspirational is that Andrea struggled to read, only being proficient in year 6 at school!
