Author Tracy Maurer Presents; John Deere

Did you know John Deere did not invent the tractor? He developed a new kind of plow in the 1830s that changed farming—and a nation—forever. The picture book biography John Deere, That’s Who! engages young readers as they learn how one hard-working blacksmith helped America grow. Join us for a highly interactive reading of the book and fun activities led by local author Tracy Nelson Maurer. She’s published more than 100 titles for children, including another new picture book biography, Noah Webster’s Fighting Words, and she’s excited to talk about writing with you!
