Watch Trent on the Today Show!

Update:  You can see the video of Trent's appearance here.

Posting VERY quickly to note that Trent Reedy, author of the book WORDS IN THE DUST, will be on NBC's Today Show this Friday, May 20! (Previous posts about this book here and here.) Pending breaking news, he should be on with Al Roker and his Book Club for Kids around 9:45 a.m. EST. Please tune in if you support one of the following:

1. Children's literature on network TV
2. Realistic contemporary children's literature in general
3. Books about other places and peoples
4. Afghan women and girls 
5. The U.S. military
6. Books about people of color
7. With said people on the covers
8. Trent
9. Extremely nice guys like Trent
10. The Vermont College of Fine Arts or the Erin Murphy Literary Agency
11. Katherine Paterson, our current Children's Laureate
12. Me and/or my books
13. Scholastic and/or Arthur A. Levine Books

And if one of those does not apply to you, I really don't know why you're reading this. Thanks for your support!
