Event Photo Report: One Book, One San Diego (for Kids!)

By Cynthia Leitich Smith

I’m in San Diego, celebrating my first book, Jingle Dancer, illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright and Ying Hwa-Hu (Morrow/HarperCollins, 2000) in conjunction with One Book, One San Diego (For Kids!). The school-and-library programs consisted of author talk, reading, and performances by the Soaring Eagle Dancers.

Huge thanks to Clare at KPBS & everyone with One Book, One San Diego!

Huge thanks to Sam Bond, for coordinating my author photo on the fly!

  1. Keeping traditions alive, fostering cultures that are on the edge of forgetting the great knowledge they possess – kudos to you Cynthia for reminding us all to remember where we come from! Beautiful book, beautiful story, beautiful ceremony…
