Lizzie Velasquez

This school year, the Lawrence library sponsored a Read Across Lawrence program, encouraging everyone to read the book Wonder by RJ Palacio.  Coop and I had read the book, and we saw the movie when it came out earlier.

This last weekend, as part of the Read Across Lawrence program, a motivational speaker Lizzie Velsaquez came to town.  Coop and I (and his friends Eliza and Molly) went to hear her speak.
