Award-winning, much-lauded author Kate DiCamillo will be delivering the 2019 Zolotow Lecture. Among her many books for children are the novels Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, Flora & Ulysses, and Raymie Nightingale. She is also the author of the Mercy Watson series and other early chapter books, and a number of picture books and other novels. Her newest novel, Beverly, Right Here (coming out in September) blends honesty, grace and humor to illuminate characters whose connections by happenstance provide a life-altering change in perspective for its 14-year-old protagonist.
