A school isn’t just a building; it is all the people who work and learn together. It is a place for discovery and asking questions. A place for sharing, for helping, and for community. It is a place of hope and healing, even when that community can’t be together in the same room.

From the award-winning illustrator of A Computer Called Katherine comes a moving celebration of school and all it may signify: work and play, creativity and trust, and a supportive community that extends beyond walls. Join Philadelphia illustrator Veronica Jamison for a live illustration, story time, and signing on her brand new book, This is School.

This event is free and open to the public. All events will take place at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore. Seating is general admission; first come, first served. Registration, masks, and proof of vaccination are not required for this event. A public book signing will immediately follow the discussion. Purchasing an author’s new or previously published book from the Midtown Scholar Bookstore is required for entry to the signing line. (Additional copies of a book, purchased elsewhere, may also be signed if time permits). Sales receipt or proof of purchase will need to be presented to staff at the entrance to the signings.
