'Good Morning America' correspondent coming to Naperville

Simple lessons of appreciation for the world around us are at the heart of a picture book by "Good Morning America" news correspondent Linsey Davis.

Davis will share her inspirational book, "The World is Awake," with fans at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 22, at Anderson's Bookshop, 123 W. Jefferson Ave., Naperville.

Davis turned her attention from asking hard-hitting questions of newsmakers to raising direct questions of little ones: Who opens the flowers? Who are the animal friends in my backyard or at the zoo?

Since Davis' book was released during the winter, it has been climbing the best-seller lists.

Her appearance in Naperville is free and open to the public. To join the book signing line, purchase the book at Anderson's. Davis will discuss her book, participate in a Q&A and sign copies for attendees.

The book also champions the importance of inclusive characters, one of her priorities. She says children look for self-affirmation in their reading, and including nonwhite characters in her book was important to her as an author and mother.

Davis is a correspondent for ABC News who has filed reports for "World News," "Good Morning America," "20/20" and "Nightline" since 2007. She has received several honors for her reporting, including two Emmy Awards and a regional Edward R. Murrow Award. In addition, the Center for Leadership Development awarded her with the distinction of "Up and Comer."

She received her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Virginia and a master's degree in communications from New York University. She is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
