We’ll also explore what novelist Chimamanda Adichie calls “the danger of a single story” while reading and responding to children’s narratives from all experiences, including (but not limited to) people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, LGBTQ, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.
