‟Books transmit values. They explore our common humanity. What is the message when some children are not represented in those books?”
—WALTER DEAN MYERS
In a career spanning over 45 years, Walter Dean Myers wrote more than 100 books for children of all ages. Join us at Poet's Den Theater in East Harlem, NY on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, 6-9PM as we prepare to honor his legacy with a conference that celebrates diversity in storytelling.
