Exploring Race and Representation in Picture Books   

Join us for this special presentation from The Eric Carle Museum! Examine how to use picture books to provide “mirrors and windows” that reflect readers’ identities and open their eyes to the world beyond their lived experiences. Participants will explore diverse representation in recent picture books, discuss ways to foster children’s critical engagement with them, and learn tools for conducting diversity audits of one’s book collection.

Professional development will be awarded for this event.
