ALL DUE RESPECT<\/i>. A Dialogue about Diversity, Equity, and Creating Safe Spaces for All Youth.<\/b> Friday, April 10, 2015. The keynote for the Association of Children’s Librarians Institute is prolific children’s book writer Jacqueline Woodson<\/a>, and the effervescent Maya Gonzalez<\/a>, whom we met in person for the first time at KidLitCon, is giving a creativity session.<\/p>\n

Children’s book editor Laura Atkins – also a KidLitCon attendee last October – is speaking on a panel chaired by Nina Lindsay, the children’s services coordinator for the Oakland Public Library who recently published this intensely important SLJ piece<\/a> on the challenges and choices ahead for diversity in children’s publishing. Co-paneling with Laura are author Jacqueline Woodson, writer, blogger and activist Malinda Lo<\/a>, and poet<\/a>, activist and writer Aya de Leon<\/a>. Does this not sound weighty and thought-provoking and fabulous with potential? And<\/i> the Institute is open to the public. Register for the day here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in other KidLitCon attendee news…<\/p>\n
