there will take place a most wonderful and unique evening of readings by some of our finest authors.... what began as discussions about a memorial to virginia, has evolved into:
The Virginia Hamilton Celebration of Multicultural Literature for Youth.... The New School University, 66 West 12th St.....7pm at the Tishman Auditorium....free!!!!
Reading from their work: Jaime Adoff Joe Bruchac Sheila Hamanaka Tanuja Desai Hidier Walter Dean Meyers Christopher Meyers Nicholasa Mohr Vera Williams Janet Wong Jacqueline Woodson Jane Yolen
Authors books will be available for sale and autographing, thanks to Bank Street Books.... We hope the auditorium will be full of adults and young people from all over the metropolitan area..... The participants represent a true rainbow of excellence.......... The evening is a continuation of our efforts to help expand "youth literature" into a truely inclusive "mirror world" of its young readers and their older allies.....
Please be in touch with me directly, or with Tonya Hegamin, who is a grad student at the new school, with any questions, comments, plans to attend.......
We look forward...................arnold
ps: i almost forgot to mention the requisite punch and cookies.....of course..................a.
(.........and to all of our friends at ccbc, who have always seen the excellence... and the rainbow...and the mosaic...and worked for an inclusive literature....these participants....mostly from the new york area...are only a small number taken from a list of over 100+ superb authors and illustrators from the widest diversity of backgrounds of all kinds...racial, generational, gender, geographical, cultural....and each season, the list grows...far too slowly.....but the doors do creak open as we creak older....)
(and since i am talking here to a group of informed and sophisticated friends....i may add my personal pleasure at presenting a multicultural evening in the midst of the traditional february african american focus month: so "even" this valuable and necessary emphasis can be expanded and
"inclusion" can apply here as well.........a.)
