    Hope you watched this Zoom webinar a few hours ago, featuring Newbery award winner Linda Sue Park, reading her children's book BEE BIM BOP, in conversation with Lee & Low publisher Philip Lee, and ALA President-Elect Patty Wong and others. Great discussion on impact of diverse resources for children, youth & families, especially, but not only AAPI realities. They all emphasized the importance of changing the conversations toward more historically corrected representations of AAPI and all communities and cultures. We are so appreciative of the decades of advocacy and leadership of both Patty and Philip, as demonstrated today! Watch for the recording of this masterful conversation with your staffs as a unique learning development opportunity, soon to be accessible on social media, as well as the Clinton Presidential Center website.
