Award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes is inspired to write stories that enrich our common humanity, as evidenced by her books for young readers, Ninth Ward, Sugar, and Bayou Magic (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers). To conclude the 2015 ABC Children's Institute, Jewell will discuss why diversity in children's literature is our next civil rights frontier: why it is an obligation of all of us for the future of our nation, and why we must not be afraid to cross boundaries.
