The Adventures of Connecticut, Connecticut's Journey to Grand Central Station, co-authored by Kristi Mason and Shelley Awad |
|
As a co-author of The Adventures of Connecticut, Connecticut's Journey to Grand Central Station, Kristi Mason is one of the youngest published authors in Canada and is truly an inspiration to all.
Kristi was born with apraxia, a developmental and coordination disorder that affects motor skills, speech, written language, thought processes and physical agility.
She was born in Windsor in 1993, and is a Grade 11 student enrolled in the special education program at St. Anne Catholic High School in Belle River, ON.
There are several authors of special education books, but there are not many exceptional students with learning disabilities who have written books.

About the Book
Everyone always asks Connecticut about his unusual name. He doesn't like being asked, but he explains that his mother was the Governor of Connecticut at the time of his birth, 17 years earlier. Shortly after his birth, his parents were killed, and Connecticut was raised by his grandmother. Connecticut's grandmother became too old and sick to care for him, and that's when Connecticut was adopted by the Reese family who secretly live in a very special place--Grand Central Station in New York City. Once Connecticut arrives in New York City, he meets his twin brothers, Jordan and Christopher, and the adventures begin! For children aged 9 to 12, or for special education students of any age!

Readers Grow Into Leaders Literacy Program
Thank you to all of our sponsors in the Readers Grow Into Leaders Literacy Program. To date, we have collected approximately 630 books valued at more than $7,800, most of which have already been given to students at our most under-funded elementary schools. We still have books to give, and more author visits are expected before the end of the schoolyear. The program will continue, and any books not yet distributed, will be saved for the upcoming year. |
