Matt de la Peña, author of The Living
It takes one moment to conscientiously change the life of a young mind. Matt de la Peña, acclaimed Young Adult author, blogged about one of his experiences visiting a junior high school recently. He explained that while signing books for the students, he encountered a girl that appeared to have a difficult childhood. He took a moment to make her feel special by asking for HER autograph. He concludes ” ‘Cause maybe that’s what it takes to be someone when you come from nothing.” To read Matt’s blog click HERE.
