Opinions and Opossums 

with Ann Braden

 

Ann Braden writes books about kids learning to stand up for themselves even when it’s hard. Having earned widespread recognition, her debut middle grade novel, THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS, was called one of “the essential middle school reads from the last decade” by Edutopia, and her next book, FLIGHT OF THE PUFFIN, sparked a coast-to-coast read aloud with tens of thousands of students taking part.  Her newest book, OPINIONS AND OPOSSUMS was a Kids’ Indie Next List pick and was called “mind-expanding” by Kirkus. Ann founded the Local Love Brigade, which sends love postcards to those who are facing hate. She also founded GunSenseVT, a grassroots group which helped pass landmark common ground gun violence prevention legislation. Previously a middle school teacher, Ann lives in southern Vermont with her husband, two kids, and two insatiable cats.
