Greetings -
I'm pleased to provide information on the USBBY program at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. on Friday, January 11.
Author Ying Chang Compestine is the featured speaker. Her new book
"Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party (Henry Holt) is based upon her childhood experiences in Wuhan, China, during the 1960s and 1970s and provides a perspective rarely seen about this particular historical time. Ms. Compestine is the author of several picture book texts, including "The Runaway Rice Cake," The Story of Noodles," "The Story of Paper," and "D is for Dragon."
As well as being a chance to hear an intriguing presentation, it's an opportunity to network with ALA members from divisions other than the one in which you're most active.
PLEASE NOTE: This program is open only to ALA Midwinter registered attendees and USBBY members (who do not need to be registered for Midwinter). It is not open to the general public.
