Candace Fleming
Join us for the 13th Annual Butler Lecture on March 11, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. The Butler Children’s Literature Center will host a live (and live-streamed) event with award-winning author Candace Fleming. A reception and book-signing will follow the lecture.
Candace Fleming is the author of more than fifty books for children and young adults, including the 2021 Sibert Medal-winning Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera, as well as the 2021 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award-winning The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh. A recipient of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, she is also the two-time winner of both the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award, and the Sibert Honor. Her most recent titles are The Enigma Girls and Narwhal, Unicorn of the Arctic.
In “Searching the World for Stories,” she discusses the "extreme research" involved in creating her nonfiction (and fiction) books. Learning hieroglyphs? Nursing orphaned rhino babies? It's part of the job.
