Online Author Talk + Q&A
The newest illustrated poetry collection in bestselling author Judith Viorst’s “decade” series, explores with wisdom and humor, what it means to be an impending nonagenarian. Accompanied by Laura Gibson’s whimsical illustrations, Nearing Ninety’s amusing and touching reflections make this collection relatable to readers of all ages.
Viorst will talk about her life and work, focused on her newest book, “Nearing 90 (And Other Comedies of Late Life),” a continuation of her “decade” series. In the new book, the beloved author shares “the complicated joys and everyday tribulations that await us at the age of 90, all with a large dose of humor and an understanding that nothing—well, almost nothing—in life should be taken too seriously.”
Viorst is the author of the beloved Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; the Lulu books; the New York Times bestseller Necessary Losses; four musicals; and poetry for children and young adults.
