Calling All Pal-Am Teens To Tell Oprah: Why is Elie Wiesel's Book NightRelevant Today?
A friendly librarian passed along the following information and idea to me.
It is extremely time sensitive--entries must be received by February 9.
The topic: "Why is Elie Wiesel's Book Night Relevant Today?
"Each finalist, along with one designated parent or guardian, will receive a trip to a special Oprah Show taping in late February."
So, to borrow from the librarian who wrote to me...if enough of our children wrote about their own family's experiences of genocide, expulsion, dispossession...perhaps Oprah would include some of them in her program.
