I wasn't in NYC for BookCon when the We Need Diverse Books session took place, but I used social media to follow events that day. I pulled together a series of photos and tweets from there that you may want to see:

In other news at AICL, I posted a first look at Katherine Kirkpatrick's new YA novel, BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. Tough reading for me because I felt that Inuit people were pretty heavily exoticized or othered. I did a count to check my impression and found the phrase "rubbed noses" 17 times: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2014/06/rubbing-noses-in-katherine-kirkpatricks.html

And! I found an excellent critique of the Oregon Trail game. The critique itself in response to the use of the graphic to celebrate gay marriage. Some fascinating history that I did not know: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2014/06/about-much-celebrated-oregon-trail.html
