Event Policies

I support efforts in the community of children’s books⏤and in the world beyond⏤to ensure that all people are treated with dignity and respect. I strongly prefer to participate in group appearances that include a diverse range of presenters, and I am not available for events sponsored by institutions that discriminate against marginalized or underrepresented people or communities.
