Robert Conroy. Bausum has written nine National Geographic books for young readers during the past twelve years. She has won numerous awards, including a Sibert Honor Award and three other national awards for literature. Co-presented by the Kansas City Public Library and the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial. Appropriate for kindergartners and up. This event is part of The Great War | Great Read.
