In this panel, participants will gain insight into the process of developing children’s literature on difficult topics such as sexual abuse, depression and terminal illness. The speakers will share about the preparatory work that authors and illustrators undertake to familiarise themselves with the context at hand, as well as the possible social or cultural biases to avoid when presenting such topics to children.
