Andrea Elliot
Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City (An Evening with Andrea Elliott)
We are pleased to be able to join with a consortium of Illinois libraries as they present an evening Andrea Elliott, author of Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City. Ms. Elliott is first woman to win an individual Pulitzer in both Arts & Letters and Journalism. Her nonfiction book chronicles eight dramatic years in the life of a young girl named Dasani and her family as they move from shelter to shelter in New York. By turns heartbreaking and inspiring, Invisible Child is a story about the power of resilience, the importance of family, and the cost of inequality—told through the crucible of one remarkable girl. This online program will be a Zoom webinar and is free and open to the public.
“A vivid and devastating story of American inequality.” —The New York Times
“A classic to rank with Orwell.” —The Sunday Times
