18th Biennial Conference on Literature and Hawaii's Children
Imagining Worlds, Fictional & Real
June 9, 10, and 11, 2016
This three-day conference is a celebration for parents, teachers, librarians, writers, illustrators, and others interested in children’s literature. Since 1982, internationally recognized authors and illustrators have inspired and educated participants at the conference, which is the longest running event in Hawai‘i exclusively devoted to literature for children. The Eighteenth Biennial Conference features award-winning author Graham Salisbury and award-winning illustrator Steve Jenkins.
The conference consists of three strands of presentations and discussions, which you may interweave to suit your particular interests:
• Using Literature provides activities to use with children at home, at school, or at the library.
• Creating Literature helps you produce and publish your own work.
The conference will be at Chaminade on June 10 and June 11.
This conference is free and open to the public.
