Online Event: Glenbard Parent Series presents Dr. Andrew Solomon

On Tuesday, September 24 at noon and 7:00pm CST (3:00pm and 10:00pm EST; 10:00am and 5:00pm PST), Andrew Solomon will join the Glenbard Parent Series on Zoom to discuss his award-winning book, Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity.

Solomon’s proposition in his book is that being exceptional is at the core of the human condition and that difference is what unites us. Solomon mines the inspiration and eloquence of ordinary people facing extreme challenges as he examines how parents experience generosity, acceptance and tolerance while navigating the world when a child falls far from the tree.
