"Judy Allen Dodson's storytelling is a gift to young readers. Her characters come alive, resonating with authenticity and relatability. Through her words, she empowers and educates, leaving an indelible mark on impressionable minds."
“In her presentation to a group of middle and high schoolers, Judy Allen Dodson spoke with great energy and enthusiasm about her work as an archivist, librarian, and author. She encouraged our students to consider their own story and how they might one day contribute to our local archives. She also read from both her books on Hurricane Katrina and on local Civil Rights leaders, Joe Holt, Jr. Students were on the edge of their seats during the readings and eagerly wanted to hear more!”
