Meet the Author- Pam Munoz Ryan
I was first introduced to Pam Munoz Ryan when I was first teaching with the book Esperanza Rising. If you haven't ever read this book it is AWESOME!! Pam Munoz Ryan has a way of writing very powerful books, books that make you think and draw out a lot of emotion.
Here is Pam Munoz Ryan's website: http://www.pammunozryan.com/ She has a bio, link of books, etc. Take time to explore and see what she is about. I thought the Q&A section was a lot of fun to read!
Unlike the other two authors Ms. Ryan does not keep a blog, that I could find. If you find her blog, let me know! However, I did find where she was a guest blogger on another website. I am including that link so you can go through and read what she writes. I feel like it gives us a window into her mind. http://forum.teachingbooks.net/?p=3764
I am also including a link to a video interview with Pam Munoz Ryan. It is from the website Reading Rockets. It is one of my favorite websites and has TONS of author interviews. If you have a favorite author or want to find a new one this is a cool resource!!!
Here is the link to the video: http://www.readingrockets.org/books/interviews/ryan/ Right underneath the video is different short videos. Make sure to watch them ALL!
Now that you have read and watched some interviews with the author. I want you to respond to this post. In your post please include TWO things you have learned about Pam Munoz Ryan and two questions you would like to ask her. Please be thoughtful in your answers and make sure they are in complete sentences.
