Navigating Worlds: Five MN Writers Talk Bias, Barriers, and Bans

Join members of the MN BIPOC Kidlit Creators for a conversation around why voices and representation matter. Joining us will be Panelists: Kao Kalia Yang, Shannon Gibney, Art Coulson, Anika Fajardo, and Ty Chapman.

While the number of children’s books by or about people of color has slowly increased over the past five years, readers (and writers) are still not equitably represented in children’s literature. This panel of Minnesota authors will discuss the issues surrounding writing and publishing for kids in today’s social and political climate.

This hybrid event is free and open to all for the cause of solidarity.
