Join your fellow NY Metro chapter members as we field trip to an in-person speaker event hosted by the Strand with author Mac Barnett discussing his new book MAKE BELIEVE-- an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. After the event, our group will debrief on what we learned and socialize! Either buy your ticket in advance on the Strand website ($13.61, link below), or reach out to us at [email protected] for financial assistance with a subsidized ticket rate. We want to make this important discussion accessible to all of our members! RSVP to this event page to let us know you're joining!
