In August, my friend Laura is going to present her paper to the International Research Society for Children’s Literature at the University of Goethe in Frankfurt, Germany. I’m really proud of her, and hope that I can find a reasonably priced flight to get over and hear her in person. Laura previously worked for Lee & Low Books, so multicultural children’s fiction is a subject dear to her heart. The title of her paper is , “What’s the Story?: Reflections on the Publication of Children’s Books Written by Non-White Authors in the UK.”
(Though I love Laura dearly, my real reason for posting about this is so I could show you the cool logo.)
