LET’S CHAT ABOUT CHAPTER BOOKS! – Join us as we chat with Kizzi Roberts about chapter books; What they are, where they fit, and why we need them. Chapter books have long been a staple on the shelves of voracious readers, but what are they exactly? And who are they for? From long-running series spanning over 150 books to new arrivals, we’ll explore key features that make a chapter book different from other middle grade books. From beginning readers to those reading above grade level, we’ll discuss all the ways chapter books meet the needs of readers ages 6 to 10. Monday, March 3 from 7:00-8:00 pm (CST) on Zoom.
Meet the Instructor
Kizzi was supposed to be an animal scientist, but instead she ran away with the circus. While traveling with the circus, she rediscovered her love of writing and attended her first SCBWI conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After the circus, she became an active member of the Missouri/Kansas SCBWI and won the Claire Vanderpool Work of Promise award in 2018. She is the author of twelve books for children, including the chapter book series CRITTER CAMP KIDS. In 2024, she was invited to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Children's Book Festival, where she shared her books with hundreds of students. Kizzi lives in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks with her family and can often be found catching grasshoppers with her toddler. Follow Kizzi at www.kizmonster.com or on Instagram @kizmonster
