Thanks to everyone who was able to attend our recent International Children’s Literature Event: Stories of Separation and Belonging: Exploring Migration, Partition and Displacement, on December 7 at the Madison Concourse Hotel. Our daylong, in-person workshop for K-12 pre-service and current educators, librarians, and children’s literature enthusiasts was a huge success! For more details, including book resources and videos of the event, click here.
