What does diversity and inclusivity look like from a preschooler’s perspective? How can we use picture books to discuss abstract topics such as diversity and inclusion? Join us and find out how children's picture books can come alive as a powerful tool in the classroom! This session focuses on three strategies that can be used during storytelling to promote children’s understanding of diversity and inclusion.
