Audience: middle grade/teens or grades 5-12
Guest: Sayantani DasGupta and Marina Budhos
Platform: Hybrid (outdoor and virtual)
Thursday May 13, at 4pm
Moderator: TBD
Using #RepresentationMatters - the idea is for both authors to discuss their work, the importance of inclusion as authors and for characters as well as the influence in creating their stories to appeal to readers particularly of upper elementary (middle grade) and middle and high school students. Both have offered to do book signings of existing copies of books in the library collection and books that attendees might bring. Sayantani has offered to give away Scholastic bookplates which she can also sign.
