SUMMARY:Panel: A Legendary Remix: Fresh Fairy Tale Faces

Filled with mystery and a rich magic system\, Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn offers dark allure with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. Chloe Gong‘s These Violent Delights is an imaginative retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s Shanghai\, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. Updating a Greek myth in an Afro-Latinx setting\, Lilliam Rivera‘s Never Look Back blends a touch of magical realism into a timely story about cultural identity\, overcoming trauma\, and the power of first love.

SUMMARY:All Aboard The Silver Arrow
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nModerated by Jennifer Jhon\, editor of South Florida Family Life Magazine. \nLev Grossman on The Silver Arrow\, Kate and her younger brother Tom lead dull\, uninteresting lives. And if their dull\, uninteresting parents are anything to go by\, they don’t have much to look forward to. Why can’t Kate have thrilling adventures and save the world the way people do in books? Even her 11th birthday is shaping up to be mundane – that is\, until her mysterious and highly irresponsible Uncle Herbert\, whom she’s never even met before\, surprises her with the most unexpected\, exhilarating\, inappropriate birthday present of all time: a colossal steam locomotive called the Silver Arrow. Kate and Tom’s parents want to send it right back where it came from. But Kate and Tom have other ideas – and so does the Silver Arrow – and soon they’re off to distant lands along magical rail lines in the company of an assortment of exotic animals who\, it turns out\, can talk. With only curiosity\, excitement\, their own resourcefulness\, and the thrill of the unknown to guide them\, Kate and Tom are on the adventure of a lifetime … and who knows? They just might end up saving the world after all. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:Black Futurity: A Magnificent Anthem
DESCRIPTION:Homie: Poems is Danez Smith’s magnificent anthem about the saving grace of friendship. Rooted in the loss of one of Smith’s close friends\, this book comes out of the search for joy and intimacy within a nation where both can seem scarce and getting scarcer. In poems of rare power and generosity\, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence\, xenophobia\, and disparity\, and in a body defined by race\, queerness\, and diagnosis\, it can be hard to survive\, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up\, or a shout comes up to the window\, and family – blood and chosen – arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary\, part bright elegy\, part war cry\, Homie: Poems is the exuberant new book written for Smith and for Smith’s friends\, and for you and for yours. \nDefinition of finna\, created by author Nate Marshall: fin·na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to [rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of “fixing to” (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow. Marshall’s poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy\, and the use of the Black vernacular in America’s vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna: Poems explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally\, how the Black vernacular expands our notions of possibility\, giving us a new language of hope. \nModerated by Dr. William Hobbs\, English department chair at Florida Memorial University. \nSponsored by: \n \n

SUMMARY:A U.S. Poet Laureate in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Billy Collins’ new collection\, Whale Day and Other Poems\, brings together more than fifty poems and showcases his deft mixing of the playful and the serious that has made him one of our country’s most celebrated and widely read poets. Here are poems that leap with whimsy and imagination\, yet stay grounded in the familiar\, common things of everyday experience. Collins takes us for a walk with an impossibly ancient dog\, discovers the original way to eat a banana\, meets an Irish spider\, and even invites us to his own funeral. Sensitive to the wonders of being alive as well as the thrill of mortality\, Whale Day builds on and amplifies Collins’ reputation as one of America’s most interesting and durable poets. \nModerated by Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Displaced at Home: An American Tale
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Joan Hilty\, editorial director at Nickelodeon. \nJoin Sophie Yanow (The Contradictions)\, Mike Hawthorne (Happiness Will Follow)\, and Kiku Hughes (Displacement) as they discuss stories that tackle the hard truths. Using the perceptive lenses of memory and time\, they focus on what’s really at the bottom of a lingering sense of displacement in what should be home – that it’s more than the sobering realization of who you are in your environment\, but the even deeper sense of reckoning experienced when you recognize who you are seen as – and how that affects who you become.

SUMMARY:Alicia Zuckerman: The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour with Judy Blume
DESCRIPTION:Alicia Zuckerman first started doing research for The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour when she was about 9 years old\, making this her longest-running project. Judy Blume‘s 1977 young adult book\, Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself\, was Zuckerman’s introduction to Miami Beach\, and one of her very favorite Blume books. When she found herself living in Sally’s neighborhood a few decades later\, she was surprised by the ways in which the area felt familiar. And she wondered – would Judy Blume come take a walk with her through some of Sally’s old haunts? But what Zuckerman didn’t realize was that Sally’s Miami Beach was Judy’s Miami Beach. \n“It is my most autobiographical book\,” Blume told Zuckerman during that walk. “Those two years were the most important two years of my childhood.” \nCome along as the beloved author walks us through her old neighborhood and talks about how her time in Miami Beach shaped not only Sally J. Freedman\, but the beloved and fearless writer Blume would become.
