Nic Stone: Dear Reader

This Thursday, you’re invited to join bestselling author Nic Stone for an online conversation on the importance of literacy and the transformative role of storytelling.

REGISTER (no fee to attend)

Literacy is traditionally defined as the ability to read and write in a particular language. But, books reveal a deeper truth: through our exposure to trials and triumphs of other human beings in stories we learn how to perceive and relate to others. Literacy transcends decoding texts; it’s how we learn to negotiate our space in the world.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of today’s most compelling voices reflecting on the power of stories to expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The talk is part of The Racial Literacy Project’s Spring Series which centers the voices of children’s and young adult authors, and scholars whose work examines race, identity, justice, and belonging.

Be well and do good
