Author
Craig Barnes visited students at John Dewey and signed copies of his book Growing
Up True: Lessons from a Western Boyhood.
He answered questions, read parts of his book and signed autographs for a group
of 6th and 8th graders.
Growing Up True tells stories of Mr. Barnes' childhood growing up on the plains
of Littleton, Colorado, in the '40s and '50s. It won a Book Sense 76 selection
for 2002 and the Colorado Book Award for 2002.
Students and staff at John Dewey appreciate the books that Mr. Barnes donated
and the time he took out of his schedule to spend time with them.
