What's New in Children's Literature – 2017

Join esteemed children’s librarian and author Penny Peck in her yearly review of what’s new in children’s literature. Discover new books published in late 2016 and Spring 2017 that will be popular with children ages 0-12, including books that reflect the diversity of the children we serve! These include board books, picture books, easy readers, transitional fiction, genre fiction for middle grades, graphic novels, poetry, nonfiction, and more! Hear about books that will be popular with a wide audience of children, and nonfiction and fiction pairings to recommend to teachers implementing the Common Core. Also, find out about books that fit the 2017 summer reading theme of building and popular makers’ spaces.

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
