At What Address Did Tiger Try to Lock up the Moon: Three Books, Three Authors - an evening conversation among Mary Fillmore, Charles Norris-Brown, Sharyl Green Motivations to write, getting words and paintings on the page, getting the pages published, letting the books fly Burlington Cohousing, 180 East Avenue, Burlington, Vermont 6:00 in the dining room All are Welcome Testimonials
"Sharyl's visit with two groups of 6th graders was a pleasure to watch. Students were drawn into Jamaria's story as Sharyl read aloud from the book, and they asked questions about everything from the character's heritage to how Sharyl had chosen the book cover. The kids also enjoyed writing about and sharing their affinities, something Jamaria mentions in the book. It was fun to see how some students made a list of their affinities and then told a little story about themselves, while others wrote narratives. Students practically ran to get a chance to check out You Can't Lock up the Moon from the school librarian."

Seniors Asking Seniors – a round table discussion of seniors and guest speakers. Several people had experience working as volunteers in prison and shared their stories. Others were interested to learn more about my experience mentoring a woman who had been incarcerated.
Nineteen women and men circled up to share their own bits of wisdom, and clearly they were eager life-long learners. Often grandparents buy a copy of You Can’t Lock up the Moon, read it themselves, then gift it to a grandchild, sometimes sharing it as a read-aloud.
I am moved by the number of people organized to provide educational and support services for children and teens in need of stability in their lives.
I met with a leader of each of these organizations, donated a few books, and agreed to visit their programs next time I am in Michigan. We can each learn to fly.
Now there are books consigned in Michigan as well as Vermont. Send me an email if you’d like to consign a few copies of You Can’t Lock up the Moon.

Past EventsA Monthly ‘Women at Work’ Enrichment Series
Sponsored by Vermont Works for Women December 8, 2015 at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility for women You Can’t Lock up the Moon: Ways to Follow Your Dreams with author, Sharyl Green Seventeen women participated in this reading and talk about being a writer. Then for seven minutes we wrote - about our affinities: what we are good at, drawn to, how that might become a real job, who has encouraged us. Each woman received a copy of You Can’t Lock up the Moon. Several of them mentioned they will send it to their own child after they read it themselves “beginning tonight.” Additional copies of the book are now available in the library there. Together we’re building bridges.
