A little from Wikipedia on Dr. Coles

Dr. Robert Coles (b. October 12, 1929) is an American author, developmental psychologist, and professor at Harvard University. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he attended Harvard, where he originally pursued literary interests until persuaded to go into medicine. He became a medical doctor in 1954 and moved to the South with plans to start a quiet practice as a child psychiatrist. Scenes of racial conflict he witnessed there led him to dedicate his efforts to documenting how children and their parents deal with profound change. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1973 for his series of books Children of Crisis. He later co-founded the magazine DoubleTake, a high-quality magazine which documented the lives of ordinary people with photographs and articles. Coles has written over fifty books and writes regular columns for The New Republic, New Oxford Review, and American Poetry Review.

We look forward to seeing you there!
