This year's KRARI program will center around RI author/illustrator Oge Mora and three of her books:Thank You, Omu!, Saturday, and The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned To Read. 

Oge Mora is a collage artist and storyteller. Her picture book, Thank You, Omu!, was a Caldecott Honor.   

Oge grew up in Columbus, Ohio but resides in Providence, RI. She is a fan of all things colorful, patterned, or collaged, and enjoys creating warm stories that celebrate people coming together.

The Kids Reading Across RI program, offered by the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services in partnership with the Rhode Island Center for the Book, encourages students across the state to read the same book, and engage in community discussions and programs.
