The 2011 Children's Literature Assembly Workshop investigated cultural contexts and relevant issues in children's literature. Award-winning authors, illustrators, and an educator shared their thoughts about writing, illustrating, and teaching multiethnic literature. The panel included author Nikki Grimes, author and illustrator Eric Velasquez, author Jenny Han, illustrator Julia Kuo, and educator Kathy G. Short. Each presenter expanded one's thinking about ways to use children's literature that allow children to see themselves and others while focusing on common humanity. This article presents highlights from the 2011 Children's Literature Assembly Workshop which focused on the topic of cultural authenticity.
