Black Children's Stories Matter: The Evolution of Children's Literature
Join me on June 12 at noon for a Creative Conversation with authors Caroline Brewer and Leslie C. Youngblood.
We'll discuss the growing popularity of narratives for young people that focus on the lives of Black children. These books are winning major literary awards and topping the bestseller lists. We'll discuss why.
Leslie C. Youngblood is the award-winning author of the middle-grade novels, "Love Like Sky" and the forthcoming "Forever This Summer." Her honors include the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Prize and the Go On Girl! Bookclub Aspiring Writer Award.
Caroline Brewer writes picture books and middle-grade books. She is a teacher, the author of 13 books, including children's picture books, and an education consultant. Her books include "Darius Daniels: Game On!" and "Barack Obama A Hip Hop Tale of a King's Dream."
