I’m so excited about an upcoming workshop that I’m taking through the Highlights Foundation. “DISMANTLING THE KALEIDOSCOPE: ESSENTIAL CONVERSATIONS IN KIDLIT, A VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM 2020” will challenge participants to “talk about misrepresentations in books” and “develop action plans for resisting them.”
I’ve got all the books for the reading list. I can’t wait to learn and listen.
Have you read any of these books? Let me know your thoughts!
- A Phoenix First Must Burn Sixteen Stories of Black Girl Magic, Resistance, and Hope, edited by Patrice Caldwell (Viking)
- The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo (Quill Tree Books)
- Dreamers by Yuyi Morales (Neal Porter Books)
