This session is a celebration and exploration of children’s literature. Participants will have an opportunity to share one of their favorite texts with others. Then, we’ll highlight a subsection of picks from the Children’s Collaborative Book Center Choices 2024 list. Participants will have time to explore some of the best new children’s literature from the last year, and collaborate with peers on ways they could incorporate new texts into their classrooms. We view children's literature broadly and texts may include anything written by children’s authors specifically for children, tweens, teens, and young adults, including picture books, graphic novels, young adult fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
