Transcript
00:00Mommy's gonna read to you.
00:02You can sit over here.
00:03You can sit, okay?
00:04Okay.
00:05Let's see.
00:06Let's see.
00:07If you think that children's books are anything less than literature,
00:11then you think children are somehow less than human.
00:15She's upside down.
00:17You don't think, like, I don't care who my kid's pediatrician is.
00:22That's just a children's doctor.
00:26Pediatricians, they take care of our children's bodies.
00:29And our children's authors are taking care of our children's souls.
00:33People thought Margaret Weisbrand was strange,
00:36and they thought her books were strange, too.
00:39Where did they go?
00:40Can you turn the page and find out?
00:44What would I want someone to say to me
00:46when I was growing up in the situation I was growing up in?
00:50With all the things I can't control in the world,
00:52and now a pandemic, civil unrest,
00:55and people questioning if my life matters or not.
01:01Who are the voices who reserve themselves the right to say who someone is?
01:08There should be our voices.
01:10It shouldn't be the voices of politicians.
01:12Our work is not only how we make great books,
01:15but this is about how you shape the life of children.
01:18We're really living in a golden age of picture books.
01:22To have the chance to meet the creators of children's books
01:25and watch them change.
01:27A generation of kids, it's revolutionary.
01:31Thank you, Harry.
