Worcester-born Author and Cartoonist to Recognize Worcester Heroes
Greater Worcester Community Foundation’s Together for Kids Coalition is hosting a “Heroes for Kiddos” event with Worcester-born New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka.
The event is today at 3 PM. Krosoczka will be signing books and recognizing Worcester Heroes over some Coney Island hot dogs, Polar soda and Table Talk pies.
Krosoczka is best known for his wildly popular Lunch Lady graphic novels, and the Platypus Police Squad. His most recent book, Hey, Kiddo (Oct 2018), is a graphic memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction, and finding the art that helps you survive.
The event is free and open to the public. The event will take place at the Worcester Area Mission Society on 6 Institute Road in Worcester.
