Exploring Race & Representation in Picture Books Online
Presented by: David Feinstein, Educator, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
This professional development workshop is sponsored by the New York State Library and Ready to Read at New York Libraries. Participants will examine how to use picture books to provide “mirrors and windows” that reflect the identities of all readers. Also covered will be criteria for selecting books, an exploration of representation in recent picture books, and a discussion of how to use books to engage children in conversations about race. Participants will also discover tools for conducting diversity audits and other resources for building a more equitable, inclusive book collection.
