Reading and Discussion of Banned Children’s Picture Books

Racial Depictions in Children’s Picture Books:

Thursday, October 7 and 24 at 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Rosendale Library 

SIGN UP HERE

This two-part Reading and Discussion series will explore depictions of race in children’s picture books that have been banned or challenged. In this series, participants will read 11 children’s picture books that have been banned or challenged because of racial themes. We will also read some short articles about book banning and racial and cultural diversity in children’s literature.

The discussions will be facilitated by Anthony Dandridge, Lecturer in the SUNY New Paltz Black Studies Department, and the Rev. Dr. Leonisa Ardizzone, Founder and Director of the Peace Education Center of the Hudson Valley.
