Author Jarrett Krosoczka will visit Glen Urquhart School in Beverly

Author Jarrett Krosoczka will visit Glen Urquhart School in Beverly on Wednesday, February 24, 2016. Jarrett has been a storyteller since the ripe age of eight, when he wrote his first book, The Owl Who Thought He Was The Best Flyer, about an owl who challenged Hermes to a flying race. Since that rather promising start, Krosoczka has published 18 picture books and graphic novels for children, including the much-loved Lunch Lady series, which is a two-time winner of the Children's Choice Book Award. Krosoczka hosts The Book Report with JJK on Sirius XM's Kids Place Live, a radio show about books aimed at kids 10 and younger. In 2010, he founded the Joseph and Shirley Krosoczka Memorial Youth Scholarships at Worcester Art Museum, to fund classes for young and underprivileged aspiring artists.
