(PRWEB) October 30, 2017 -- Author Kevin Christofora, of the Hometown All-Stars Series of children’s baseball books, will be debuting and reading his new book, Amira Can Catch, at the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) National Conference. The Hometown All Stars series teaches children important lessons through the lens of a Little League team. The newest installment in the children’s book series, Amira Can Catch, tells the story of Amira, a new student, who also happens to be a Syrian refugee.

Where: American Association of School Librarians (AASL) National Conference, Phoenix Convention Center, 100 North 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004

Christofora says, "Amira Can Catch is all about inclusivity and acceptance. I can't think of a better message to share with the audience at the American Association of School Librarians, or with my readers and their families in general.” He adds, "It's so important that we teach young readers to embrace those who are different from them.”

Distributed by Midpoint Books, “The Hometown All Stars” series is currently available on Amazon, as well as thehometownallstars.com. Amira Can Catch will be available at the AASL Authorpalooza.
