Children’s Literary Salon – From Readers to Leaders: Encouraging Ethical Behavior Through Children’s Books

January 6, 2012 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

We are pleased to announce our Children’s Literary Salon for this Saturday, January 7, 2012, 2 – 3 p.m in the Berger Forum on the second floor of the main branch of NYPL (42nd Street & 5th Avenue a.k.a. the one with the big stone lions out front).

From Readers to Leaders: Encouraging Ethical Behavior Through Children’s Books

The term “bibliotherapy” is bandied about in children’s literary circles, but to what extent can works for kids inform their ethics, morality, and behavior? Join authors Janet Wong and Stuart J. Murphy as they discuss how they see their own books informing the lives of their young readers.

He is also the author of the award-winning MathStart series, which includes a total of 63 children’s books that present mathematical concepts in the context of stories. A graduate and current trustee of the Rhode Island School of Design, he is a frequent presenter at meetings of the International Reading Association (IRA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and other professional organizations.

She has been honored with the Claremont Stone Center Recognition of Merit, the IRA Celebrate Literacy Award, and her appointment to the NCTE Commission on Literature. A frequent speaker at schools, libraries, and conferences, Wong has performed at the White House and has been featured on CNN, Fine Living’s Radical Sabbatical, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
