Accessing African Children’s Literature through Online Resources
September 30, 2020
Africa is a diverse continent of many nations, rich in culture and oral traditions. Our speakers will discuss the impact of African children’s literature and how educators, librarians, authors, illustrators, and publishers are working together to provide a positive learning environment for students, both in the US and in Africa. The panelists will present two different online resources that will serve as guides to locating and utilizing African children’s literature. Please join us on September 30, 2020 for an enlightening presentation on African children’s literature, with time for a Q&A session, on this important and timely topic.
