International Children’s Literature Celebration: Folk and Fairytales
Saturday, December 2, 2023 from 9 am-4 pm
Madison Concourse Hotel
Thank you to those who joined us for this event! This was a workshop for preservice and current educators, librarians, and children’s literature enthusiasts. The daylong event featured an expert from UW-Madison and three award-winning children’s literature or YA authors. Authors gave presentations on their work, engaged in a roundtable discussion, and signed copies of their books for attendees. Lunch and refreshments were provided.

*This workshop was funded by grants from the US Department of Education, which prohibit us from using these funds to pay for food. Thus, the $25 registration fee is needed to cover the cost of lunch and refreshments.
