On this week’s Kidlit Distancing Social, author, screenwriter and sensitivity reader Patrice Williams Marks shares how all writers can respectfully and constructively become part of a new global discussion on fairness, equality and justice for all.
 
Laura also checks in with an update about the impact of the current situation on the publishing world, and we celebrate the successes of three Children’s Book Insider subscribers. And our poll question this week: Who’s a Good Dog?
