"Jen Swann Downey is a compelling and engaging storyteller. I want to hear more stories about intellectual freedom fighters." -- Eti Berland, Head Librarian, Saul Silber Memorial Library "Downey's thought-provoking, energizing talk was the prefect opener for Kidlitcon 2016. Her engaging speaking style kept the audience riveted, and set the stage for lively discussions." -- Charlotte Taylor, KidLitCon Organizer, Blogger at http://charlotteslibrary.blogspot.comis "Jen Swann Downey delivers an essential message about the importance of intellectual freedom and why it matters to everyone, including kids. Her books take children on a journey through time to meet people who create and preserve the words that are part of our history. Her interactive presentation lets kids express their thoughts and feelings about censorship and soon after they'll be lining up in the library to check out her books!" - Rebecca Flowers, school librarian at Walker Upper Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA |
