New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka creates books with humor, heart, and a deep respect for his young readers - qualities that have made his titles perennial favorites.

His latest graphic novel, Hey, Kiddo, is a profoundly important work about growing up in a family grappling with addiction and finding the art that helps you survive.

Q&A time will follow presentation. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

This author is also the keynote speaker at the Harford County Kinship Conference scheduled for 9/20 at the EPICenter in Edgewood.
