\"Reflecting
\nThere’s always a lot of discussion about the lack of diversity in children’s books but what can we each do to begin changing these statistics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join me for an informal discussion this Thursday, March 20th and let’s talk about ways we each can contribute to creating a more reflective and inclusive children’s book publishing industry. Whether you’re a person of color, LGBTQI, white, a straight ally, aspiring or established author or illustrator, avid reader, teacher, parent, we all can take steps to create a better world for our children with books that reflect our beautifully diverse world.<\/p>\n
