Three years after #TimesUp and #MeToo took the world by storm, young readers are still in need of positive feminist books. With the constant pressures of being a young person in both an isolated and connected environment with COVID and social media, young readers especially need positive messages that embrace all body types.
Join Booklist and Penguin Young Readers for this free, hour-long discussion on new and old books for young readers (grades K–12) featuring strong, inspiring women. This webinar will also feature a panel discussion between Olivia Abtahi, author of PERFECTLY PARVIN; Shelly Anand, author of LAXMI'S MOOCH; Tyler Feder, author and illustrator of BODIES ARE COOL; and Lisa Fipps, author of STARFISH. This panel will be moderated by Booklist editor Maggie Reagan.
