So proud of my mom Susie Sexton, whose writing will be featured – for the fourth year in a row! – in the Henry Ford Centennial Library / Dearborn Public Library “Big Read” collection. This ecologically inspired edition is entitled “Tree Anthology.” (Her photo was even featured as the cover on the library’s inaugural edition, inspired by “Call of the Wild.”)

From the library publishers: Congratulations ! Thank you for submitting to the Big Read call for nature stories, poems, or essays. Your work will be included in the forthcoming tree anthology. Please check this page for updates on the book: https://lnkd.in/eYXugVe … We hope you can attend the NEA Big Read Kick-off on Saturday, March 7, 11 a.m. at The Henry Ford, Anderson Theater, 20900 Oakwood Blvd: https://lnkd.in/eTNy-KN

From The Post & Mail/BroadwayWorld: author Susie Sexton will be featured in the upcoming Henry Ford Centennial Library “Big Read” Tree Anthology. The book will be available for purchase on Amazon. Sexton’s work was published in the organization’s prior three “Big Read” collections Call of the Wild Dearborn: Animal Tales (also providing the photographic cover art), Dreaming Dreams No Mortal Ever Dared to Dream Before, and What’s In A Name? The program has been running since 2014, yielding four collections in that time, and Sexton has been included in each edition.

The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. For a fourth time, Dearborn Public Library is one of 75 organizations nationwide that received this grant to host a Big Read program in their community. Tree Anthology focuses on nature and ecology as primary themes.
