mPavillion, 2021
Produced by Community Reading Room

Join Kirsten Bonds (Culture Crate), Denise Chapman (Monash University), Emele Ugavule (Talanoa) and Torika Bolatagici (Community Reading Room) in conversation as they delve into the importance of access to diverse children’s literature; First Nations, bilingual and oral storytelling; matters of representation; and the power of books to challenge dominant discourse.
