Books by the Banks 2016 Highlights
Books by the Banks 2016 had a stellar line-up of authors and presentations.
Bookseller Alia Jones, authors Zetta Elliott, Greg Leitich Smith and Children’s Librarian Sam Bloom discuss the state of diversity in publishing and ideas to close the gap.
These guys! Laughed out loud the entire presentation with author-illustrators Greg Pizolli, Bob Shea, and Loren Long. Fun session where they shared personal experiences as well as a bit about their creative process.
Authors Kerrie Hollihan, Brandon Marie Miller, Michelle Houts, Nancy Poe Pimm, Mary Kay Carson, Carmella Van Vleet, and Jen Swanson talk about science and history – and women in science and history!
Ohio creatives Tim Bowers, Lana Wayne Koehler, Gloria Adams, Will Hillenbrand and Christina Wald.
What a fun and creative day! Until next year…
Read and write on!
It’s a nice bool festival Pat. Come on down next year!
Lucky you! Looks like everyone had a great time at this “Books by the Banks” event. I’m so pleased diversity has become important in children’s books. Wasn’t always the case.
