For All Ages
Rajani LaRocca was born in India, raised in Kentucky, and now lives in the Boston area with her wonderful family and impossibly cute dog. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, she spends her time writing novels and picture books, practicing medicine, and baking too many sweet treats. She is also the cohost of the STEM Women in KidLit Podcast.
She is the author of three middle grade novels: Midsummer’s Mayhem, Much Ado About Baseball, and the novel-in-verse Red, White, and Whole. Red, White, and Whole has received multiple starred reviews and is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, a Spring 2021 Indie Next Top Ten Title, a BookPage Best Middle Grade of 2021, and the winner of the 2021 New England Book Award and the 2022 Walter Dean Myers Award for Younger Readers, awarded by We Need Diverse Books. Red, White, and Whole is also a 2022 Newbery Honor Book.
She is also the author of several picturebooks, including Seven Golden Rings: A Tale of Music and Math, Bracelets For Brothers, Where Three Oceans Meet, and The Secret Code Inside You, as well as the forthcoming picturebooks I’ll Go and Come Back (Candlewick, 2022), Masala Chai, Fast and Slow (Candlewick, 2023), Your One and Only Heart (Dial, 2023), Summer Is For Cousins (Abrams, 2023), and more. Learn more about her at www.RajaniLaRocca.com and on Twitter and Instagram @rajanilarocca.
Rajani will virtually visit with us via Zoom. She will talk about her life and her books, focusing on her novel-in-verse Red, White, and Whole, and then will take questions from attendees.
Registration is required; the Zoom link will be emailed to registrants the day prior to the program.
