The wonderful world of diverse books for kids and teens

Diversity and inclusivity in children's literature is improving but it can still feel challenging to find the titles and build great collections in libraries and schools. In this session we'll explore where the industry is, the best places to find inspiration and we'll discuss and explore a selection of brilliant contemporary books and graphic novels from early chapter books through to young adult. From Black British history, to refugee stories, from kids living in poverty to South Asian representation, LGBTQ+ stories and neurodivergent protagonists. This session will be a chance to share the books you love and leave with a big list of new titles to explore.

Join us at the James Reckitt Reading Conference for a day of learning and collaboration with Hull SLS, Hull Libraries and special guests. More info & tickets
