Literature in the Time of COVID: Engaging, Inspiring & Empowering Students with Authentic Texts

Join us as Samira Ahmed, educator-turned-bestselling author of Love, Hate & Other Filters, and Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know moderates a discussion with members of the Penguin Random House Education Teacher Advisory Boards on the power of representation in stories.
