Hosted by Comics Youth | 11 am – 5:30 pm | Wednesday 24 August 2022 | Lovelocks Café, L1 6ER
Open Book is an upcoming safe space book event/club from Comics Youth. They aim to create a safe community space to discuss books and advertise diversity within books, helping people to find books that represent them and other marginalised people. The event will promote own-voice narratives, ensuring that the books displayed are authentically representative of the people they’re written about.
Their children’s reading in the morning aims to introduce parents and children to diverse literature from a young age, encouraging parents to learn about their children’s identities to help their kids feel understood, cared for and loved. Children’s books around diversity also help parents to find the language to have conversations around identity with their children.
The afternoon event is open to young adults and people of all ages. They are hoping to allow those who are older and who haven’t seen themselves reflected in media to be able to see what exists out there for them now.
The Children’s Book Club (including a library of books and book readings) will be from 11 am to 1 pm.
