For the Year 1 finale on June 17, 2015, WordsWest hosted its first-ever Kids' Night to a full house, featuring award-winning children's authors Sundee Frazier and Charles & Elisheba Johnson. Sundee read a harrowing chapter from her upcoming novel Cleopatra Edison Oliver, CEO (Scholastic Feb. 2016), about her young heroine's business plan to remove loose teeth using dental floss and a Nerf gun. Father-daughter writers Charles and Elisheba read passages from The Hard Problem, volume two in their series The Adventures of Emery Jones, Boy Science Wonder ... in which Emery's invention brings him to the brink of falling in love with a charming, extraterrestrial mollusk. West Seattle children's librarian Leslie Sumida offered both a summer reading table and her Favorite Poem: "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. Kids, Pocky sticks, and good cheer abounded.
