Join us via
YouTube for this free event where we welcome Alda P. Dobbs, Daniel Aleman, Payal Doshi, Margarita Longoria, and Maria E. Andreu for a virtual reading and conversation on border and immigrant perspectives in writing for children. These authors will all share stories aimed to expand and enrich young readers' views of the world and of themselves while creating empathy and showing how similar we all are in spite of our origins, our histories, and our cultural backgrounds. They will also share ideas for incorporating these books into lessons on teaching immigration, life near the U.S.-Mexico border, and cultures outside the U.S.
*Note that virtual events listed on our schedule will be available to watch at their scheduled time, and will remain available to watch on our YouTube channel indefinitely.Click here to view this event via Facebook, and click here to purchase this event's book(s) from Auntie’s.
