MODEL CITIZENS IN THE COMMUNITY
Model Citizens: The Wings of Change is a story about bringing people together and that conversation continues beyond the pages of the book.
Author Nicholas Gray has been sharing the story behind Model Citizens, how the book came to be, the creative process and its themes of mentorship, friendship, teamwork and two generations learning from one another. From interviews and author talks to community events, we’ll share those conversations and appearances here.
