This year’s roundtable will focus on elevating the voices of children’s book authors. The goal of the Authors Roundtable is to foster dialogue, collaboration, and inspiration among authors who are dedicated to creating diverse and representative literature for young readers.
From colorful adventures to lessons on acceptance and kindness, these authors are creating meaningful and culturally rich stories that reflect the diversity of our state.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the following multicultural authors:
- Abby Feria, “Not Your Fault”
- Candace Richardson, “Osiyo, Little Rabbit”
- Sherrika Myers, “Herbie Goes to School”
- Willa McGirth-Singleton, “Andrew Dennis Harper Davis and His Favorite Girl, Laila”
Guests will hear about their creative journeys, creating engaging characters, story development and more. The event will also feature a read along for children ages 10 and under. Children attending the event will have an opportunity to meet Herbie, take photos and learn about the mascot's role in Myers books.
Turning Page Bookshop owner, VaLinda Miller, will serve as the moderator.
Admission to the Minority Self-Publishing Authors Roundtable is free. Space is limited, and registration is required.
