The PEN World Voices Festival, April 25-May 1, will bring more than 100 writers from 40 nations to New York City to celebrate the transformative power of the writer's voice--both on the page and as a vital element of public discourse. Among the more than 60 events, don't miss the children's book panel on Thursday, April 28:
Who Tells the Story? Children's Book Writers Talk About Voice Must the writer get inside the head of the child in order to find an authentic voice for a young character? Or does the authentic voice come from someplace else? Three distinguished writers share ideas about how their lives shape their books. With Nicaraguan novelist and poet Gioconda Belli, author of the children's book The Butterfly Workshop; Peter Lerangis, author of 160 books for children and young adults, including two in the New York Times-bestselling series The 39 Clues; and Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medalist and author of the New York Times bestseller When You Reach Me. Moderated by Lisa Von Drasek, Children's Librarian at the Bank Street College of Education and blogger for EarlyWord.com and contributor to the Barnes and Noble Review. Thursday, April 28, 7:30 p.m. Renee Weiler Concert Hall, Greenwich House Music School 46 Barrow Street Tickets: $10/$5 PEN Members, students with valid ID
