These windows are also sliding glass doors\, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created and recreated by the author. When lighting conditions are just right\, however\, a window can also be a mirror. Literature transforms human experience and reflects it back to us\, and in that reflection we can see our own lives and experiences as part of the larger human experience.”. At this interactive zoom event\, you’ll get a chance to hear from a panel of community literature experts as they reflect on the diverse middle grade and young adult books they love and encourage others to read. Our program is delighted to have Dr. Regan Postma-Montano (Hope College Spanish and English professor)\, Dr. Jesus Montano (Hope English professor)\, Alex Zhou (Zeeland Christian Schools\, Mandarin teacher) and Becca VanWeerdhuizen (West Ottawa High School Librarian) lead this discussion. \nThis event is sponsored by Readers World.

As we reflect on the questions of “Whose histories have been told? Whose have been silenced?” We invite our Lakeshore readers to read and learn from Armstrong’s recent book. Join us in this live zoom event as Erica Dunbar Armstrong responds to our questions and comments about her writing and work on the uncomfortable concepts of slavery\, racial injustice and gender equality and the ways she is able to marvel at the incredible triumph of survival and the beautiful history of resistance. \nThis event is sponsored by the Jack Ridl Visiting Writing Series.
