Author and actress Sheetal Sheth will visit with First and Second graders on November 9. She will present her picture book Always Anjali. If you wish to have her sign a personal copy of the book that day, you should purchase it online or from a local bookstore ahead of time and bring it along that day. 
About the book: When Anjali finally gets the bike of her dreams on her birthday, she and her two best friends are excited to get matching license plates with their names on them. But Anjali can't find her name. There's Amy, Betsy, Chris, and many more, but no Anjali. To make matters worse, she gets bullied for her different name, and is so upset she demands to change it. When her parents refuse, she winds up learning to celebrate who she is and carry her name with pride. This is a timeless story about appreciating what makes us special and honoring our differences.
