CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM RACHEL WEISS, Workshop Coordinator:

2nd ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE CELEBRATION "OPEN A BOOK... OPEN A DOOR... OPEN YOUR MIND... TO THE WORLD"

Saturday, November 22, 2003 Pyle Center, 702 Langdon Street University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, Wisconsin, USA 8:30 AM -- 5:00 PM

Those of you who attended last year's workshop will remember the fantastic day -- full of wonderful insights and readings by the award winning authors who were gathered with us in Madison: Ibtisam Barakat, Tololwa Mollel, Kyoko Mori, and Suzanne Fisher Staples.

This year the following authors have confirmed participation in the workshop: Lulu Delacre, Ji- Li Jiang, Rukshana Khan, and Serpil Ural.

The International Children's Literature Day will be an all?y interactive workshop for K educators, librarians, and children's literature enthusiasts, with an aim to internationalize statewide reading curriculum. This event is being coordinated by the Wisconsin International Outreach Consortium (WIOC).

After opening remarks by Professor Harold Scheub, each author will give a 45-minute presentation (followed by 15 minutes of questions) on her writings highlighting the work they feel is most suitable for classroom discussion. Two authors will speak in the morning session and two following lunch. Our final session will be a round-table dialogue with the authors and participants. The focus of this dialogue will be on the need to internationalize classroom reading and how best to do that. In conclusion, we will have a reception and book signing.

Registration: DUE NOVEMBER 10, 2003. Space is limited! Cost for registration is
$45.00 per participant. Each participant will receive one book of their choice by the invited authors and lunch at the Pyle Center. Please mail registration form and fee payable to WIOC, c/o Rachel Weiss, Center for South Asia, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 203 Ingraham Hall, 1155 Observatory Drive, Madison, WI 53706.

Parking: Park at the public garage on Lake Street (between State Street and University Avenue). November 22, 2003 is a UW home football game; so the earlier you come to Madison and park -- the better!

Cost: $45 registration fee payable to WIOC. Each participant will receive one book of their choice by the invited authors and boxed lunch at the Pyle Center.
