Mac Barnett and Jory John—co-authors of The Terrible Two—met through their jobs at 826LA and 826 Valencia, nonprofit centers that give kids free help with their creative and expository writing. Mac and Jory will discuss their work with 826 and their belief that one way to ensure we have diverse writers is by making sure students everywhere—especially in low-income neighborhoods—have access to free, fun, high-quality writing instruction.
