SUMMARY:"Murder of the Jujube Candy Heiress: A Coronado Cold Case" - Virtual Book Talk

On his nationwide tour as national ambassador\, Mac invites readers of all ages to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant\, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential American art form. \n“Children deserve entertaining stories and meaningful art! I am\, of course\, excited to talk to young readers.
