Join us at 10 am, before the Martin Luther King Day Read-In, for an interactive workshop on reading books with social justice themes.  Karen Hoelscher, Professor of Elementary Education at WWU, will share the ins and outs of choosing and reading multicultural books with young children, how to help them make personal connections with the content, and how to respond to difficult questions about social justice issues.  The event is free and open to the public.
