Chris and J.J. Grabenstein will take you behind the scenes of SHINE!, their Volunteer State Book Award nominee.  Learn about their different paths to writing, the creation process, and how, even though it took over two years to write this book together, they’re still married.  You’ll also get the inside scoop on the origins of some of the characters and plot points while learning how schools all over the country are taking elements of the book to inspire kindness in their classrooms and beyond.   There will be time for questions, too!
