The publishing industry is finally starting to catch up to the dazzling talents of Native American creators of books for children. In this session, we’ll hear from five award-winning authors writing picture books, middle-grade novels, and YA fiction, in a lively discussion led by Melissa Stoner, Native American Studies librarian at UC Berkeley. Alexis Bunten (Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story), Brandon Hobson (The Storyteller), Brian Young (Heroes of the Water Monster), Angeline Boulley (Warrior Girl Unearthed), and Andrea L. Rogers (Man Made Monsters) will discuss their own journeys toward publication, the state of publishing for Native American creators, and the audiences they hope to reach. All ages.
