Why diversity matters for children and young adults

This is an exciting opportunity to listen to the acclaimed and much-loved children’s authors, Sita Brahmachari and Michael Rosen in conversation about children’s literature. Sita Brahmachari, a multi-award-winning writer, will be talking about her novels for children and young adults and why diversity matters in her stories. Artichoke Hearts (2011) won the Waterstones Children's Book Award and was voted in the Guardian's top 50 books celebrating diversity since the 1950s. Tender Earth (2017) was honoured by the International Board of Books for Young People. A ten-year anniversary copy of Artichoke Hearts was published on World Humanitarian Day (19 August 2021). We are thrilled to be celebrating the launch of Sita Brahmachari’s powerful YA novel, When Shadows Fall (11.11. 21) described as a gripping, tender, terrifying work. We look forward to hearing about Sita Brahmachari’s life, work and books. We are also delighted to be celebrating the launch of Michael Rosen's new picturebook about perseverance, hope and overcoming fear, Sticky McStickstick (04.11.21), illustrated by Tony Ross.

This online event is hosted by the Centre for Language, Culture and Learning and MA Children’s Literature programme at Goldsmiths, University of London.
