Green
February 15, 2006 · Grades 2-6

Michelle Y. Green is a writer who likes learning about "holes in history"— her term for parts of African American history and culture that aren't well known.

Green wrote the true story of a female baseball player in A Strong Right Arm: The Story of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson. She also wrote about a young girl living in the Depression era in the Willie Pearl series—fictional stories, but Green based the stories on her mother's childhood.

Past president of the Children's Book Guild of Washington, D.C., this award-winning author will share with students what a writer's life is really about.
