Perspectives in Children's Literature Conference
The Perspectives in Children's Literature Conference provides the public with an opportunity to learn more about the world of children's literature from the creators themselves.
Each participant is provided the opportunity to learn and grow from this experience. Every year we strive to encompass the diversity of children's literature by selecting presenters who represent different aspects of the creative process. In turn we hope that our participants will use this unique experience to further the education and creative growth of our youth.
