Stories have the power to open young minds to the world around them, inspiring conversations about social, political, and environmental issues. In this online panel discussion, six celebrated children’s authors will discuss how their works tackle these important themes and how literature can be a catalyst for sparking meaningful discussions with young people. The authors will share their experiences in addressing complex, often difficult subjects through storytelling, offering insights on how adults—parents, educators, and mentors—can help guide children through these conversations, fostering understanding, empathy, and action.
