In times of great cultural change and social tumult, what role do children’s books play in the lives of our children and families? How do we go about selecting the best books for each young reader and encourage a life-long love of reading? What can picture books offer us as grown-ups for coping with the world around us? Parents, caregivers, and educators, join writers Jackie Azúa Kramer, Selene Castrovilla, Valerie Bolling, and Roseanne Frank as they discuss the changing landscape of children’s literature in 2024.
