Zito Camillo is from Brazil. After earning a Bachelor degree in Literature in Brazil he danced with the Sao Paulo School of Ballet. Now living in Lowell, he studied English as a Second Language at the Abisi Adult Education Center of the Lowell Public Schools. 

Story time with Wafa' Tarnowska

A fantastic opportunity to hear right from Wafa' Tarnowska, the author of Nour's Secret Library, a picture book that is winning praise from readers around the globe.

Forced to take shelter when their Syrian city is plagued with bombings, young Nour and her cousin begin to bravely build a secret underground library. Based on the author’s own life experience and inspired by a true story, Nour’s Secret Library is about the power of books to heal, transport and create safe spaces during difficult times.
