This afternoon’s book salon at 5 pm ET/2 pm PT, will be with Bruce Kluger and David Tabatsky.

For a compilation book they’ve put together entitled "Dear President Obama: Letters of Hope From Children Across America."  The letters are refreshingly frank, full of the same issues that adults are trying to manage…but with a kid’s ability to cut through the social niceties to the heart of the issue at hand.

 From racial tension to the environment, from gay marriage to the economy, and back again — the book runs the gamut.

I’ll be hosting the discussion and hope you can join us.
