Representation Matters: Writing for BIPOC Children

Children need to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.  This need is especially true for children of color. Join best-selling author and award winning author, Valerie J. Lewis Coleman for a workshop session discussing how the lack of representation in literature can have damaging influence on children’s self-esteem and their ability to connect with the world around them.  Participants will receive handouts, ink pens and resource materials.
