Janet Wong, celebrated author and winner of the 2021 NCTE Excellence in Poetry for Children Award, met with lower and intermediate students at Hamlin Robinson School on Monday, March 28. She shared a selection of her works encompassing expression, movement, and more – perfectly timed with the levels' annual poetry unit. Janet started her career as a lawyer, transitioning to a writer, and even has her own publishing company. She speaks to students all over the world and shares her written work in ways that connect with students at their level. "I love to share the story of my transition from lawyer to author to publisher. I'm told that my keynotes, assemblies, and workshops are inspiring, which warms my heart. It is my hope that you will hear my stories and get going to make your own dreams happen for you."
