In this first segment I’m joined by Vanesse Lloyd Sgambati – founder of the African American Children’s Book Fair for her once-a-month segment VLS Journeys. Vanesse speaks to three of the authors featured at the event. Kelly Starling Lyon is an award-winning author, whose book "Sing a Song" celebrates the Black National Anthem. Ibi Zoboi is a Bestselling and award-winning author of books including "Star Child," about the great science fiction writer Octavia Butler. Nana Brew Hammond has written a fascinating book "Blue," tracing color through time and around the world. The African American Children’s Book Fair is February 11th 1-4 pm at the PA Convention Center.
