Friday, May 6, 2016 at 11:30 AM–1:30 PM EDT
2 Grand Centre
Abstract
Anne Sibley O'Brien will share her story, from her upbringing as an American missionary doctor's daughter raised in South Korea, to her career as an award-winning author and illustrator whose books feature diverse children and cultures. She'll reflect on the experience of becoming bilingual and bicultural; discuss the importance of books that represent all of our children and how these books and the conversations they spark can make a difference in the classroom; and share resources for further exploration. And everyone will get to draw a Korean dragon!
