We were thrilled to have 25+ inclusive authors and illustrators to kick off our spotlight series in collaboration with Children’s Book Council and but what now?

Who else should we interview? We asked Native American Children’s Book expert Debbie Reese for more authors and she helped us out with this list:

Cynthis Leitich Smith
Nicola Campbell
Julie Flett
Eric Gansworth
Carol Lindstrom
Cheryl Minnema
Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve
Arigon Starr
Tim Tingle
Richard Van Camp
S. D. Nelson

Readers left us comments and asked for:
Atinuke
Mitali Perkins

We would love to interview:
Jerry Pickney
Lenore Look
Pam Muñoz Ryan
Francisco X. Stork
Rita Williams Garcia
Gene Luen Yang
Faith Ringold
Christopher Paul Curtis
Kadir Nelson
Uma Krishnaswami

We want to hear from you? What diversity authors and illustrators for children’s and YA books do you want to learn more about?

Thanks for your help! Please leave a comment with the authors and illustors that you want to know more about!
