Understanding the Present and Future of Diverse Children’s Literature

Join Mackin, award-winning Author Christina Soontornvat, and Publisher Philip Lee for a lively conversation on the present and future of diverse children’s literature. They will discuss the need for diversity within diverse books, what the #OwnVoices movement means for authors and readers, and where they turn for courage and hope during difficult times. Participants will walk away inspired and equipped to make positive changes in their communities through the power of literature.
