Episode 4 – Advocating for Writers of Color in Children’s Book Publishing

In this episode, host and project PI Ed Greene asks Jason Low, co-owner of Lee & Low Books about diversity in the children’s publishing industry and ways to support writers of color interested in producing climate-related media. Jason also mentions several individuals and organizations that are contributing to child-centered climate change solutions:

  • The Diversity Baseline Study – information about how Lee and Low tracks the publishing industry’s progress toward becoming more inclusive.
  • Our Children’s Trust – a non-profit public interest law firm that represents young people in efforts to secure their rights to a safe climate.
  • Wangari Maathai: The Woman Who Planted a Million Trees – a book by Franck Prévot and Aurélia Fronty (illus.) that explores the life of Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai, whose tree-planting campaign helped catalyze climate action across the world.  
  • Read Banned Books – a website from Penguin Random House dedicated to ensuring that children have access to books offering a wide range of perspectives.
  • We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) – an organization seeking to diversify the publishing industry and to make bookshelves more equitable.
