Join Miss Sue and your friends when we take a visit to Deckawoo Drive with everyone’s favorite adventure loving pig, Mercy Watson! Miss Sue will have the big TV set up and we can all gather round to hear the Newbery Medal winning author Kate DiCamillo share the stories behind the creation of her early chapter book series, the original Mercy Watson, and the follow up series, Tales from Deckawoo Drive. We will also be celebrating the publication of the final book in the Mercy Watson series!
This is one a new series of free, live-streamed author talks made possible through the Library’s partnership with Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). You can learn more about and sign up for upcoming presentations for kids and adults on our LSC microsite, as well as watch recordings of presentations that you were unable to attend live.

She served as the 2014-2015 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, appointed by the Library of Congress.
