How can we make multicultural children’s literature more mainstream? Grace Lin, a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator, showed how we can encourage children to read books with culturally diverse characters. Using her experiences as a child, a mother, and an author as examples, Lin discussed ways that we can use books as tools to integrate diversity into our children’s lives.
Grace is a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator and winner of the Newbery Honor for Where the Mountain Meets
the Moon and the Theodor Geisel Honor for Ling and Ting. Her most recent novel, When the Sea Turned to Silver was a National Book Award Finalist and her most recent picture book, A Big Mooncake for Little Star was awarded the Caldecott Honor.
Grace is also an occasional commentator for New England Public Radio, a reviewer for the New York Times, and a video essayist for PBS NewsHour.
In 2016, Grace’s art was displayed at the White House where she was recognized by President Obama’s office as a Champion of Change for Asian American and Pacific Islander Art and Storytelling.
