Julia Donaldson is one of the biggest names in children's literature, but her work with illustrator Victoria Sandøy--shall we call it The Tree Trilogy?--has gone largely unnoticed in the U.S. But who doesn't want a children's book filled with specialist knowledge about industrial paper making practices of the 20 and 21C? Adalyn is all about it!

Join us for our discussion on PAPER CHASE. I'll bring to bear some of the frankly frightening amount of knowledge I have around the history of paper and its ability to form discourse networks. And just like a real college English class, you can show up in your pajamas!
