Western Oregon University's Division of Teacher Education (in coordination with Teaching Research Institute and the Project High Five Grant) is pleased to welcome award-winning children's author, Monica Brown, for an evening workshop on April 9, 2015 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. 

Monica will speak about her writing and work, through the lens of examining social justice issues in children's literature.  Workshop attendees will also have opportunities to examine multiple international and multicultural children's literature titles and consider ways for integrating such literature in the classroom and at home. Classroom teachers, librarians, parents, and readers are all welcome to attend.  

Spanish translation services will be provided.  A select number of Monica's books will be available for purchase at the event.  An author signing will follow the evening's events.   Please see the attached flyer for further details.
