9th Annual OKI Children's Literature Conference
http://www.gclc-lib.org/ce/index.html?id=389
Welcome to Imagining Russia And The World Through Children's
Literature. The ninth annual OKI Children's Literature Conference
brings you a wonderful opportunity to share information and ideas about
linking children, books, and reading.
Featured Speakers
*Patricia Polacco*
Patricia Polacco has written and illustrated more than forty books for
children. She is well known for writing stories about her childhood.
Her Russian background and life on a Michigan farm are central themes.
Many of her books focus on relationships between children and their
elders, and are woven from the threads and colors of her own experiences
and family history. She has received numerous honors including the
International Reading Association Children's Book Award, the Golden Kite
Award, and the Educators for Social Responsibility Award. Her most
popular works include: Babushka Baba Yaga; The Keeping Quilt; Rechenka's
Eggs; and Uncle Vova's Tree.
*Patricia Gauch*
Patricia Gauch grew up in Michigan and has used the natural surroundings
of her childhood on Lake Huron and Lake Michigan as a setting for
several of her novels. After graduating from Miami University, Ms. Gauch
worked as a reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Detroit
Free Press before launching her career as an author, teacher, and
reviewer of children's books.
Ms. Gauch became Editor-in-Chief of Philomel Books in 1985 and has
edited numerous prize-winning novels and picture books including many
titles by Patricia Polacco. She is now Vice President and Publisher of
Philomel Books. Her children's book titles include: Dance, Tanya; Tanya
and the Red Shoes; Thunder at Gettysburg; Poppy's Puppet; and Noah.
In addition to our keynote speakers, there will be a variety of
