Flashback to the Present

Front: L to R: Charlene Willing McManis (Grand Ronde); Andrea L. Rogers (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma); Marcie Rendon (White Earth (Anishinaabe) Nation)

Two years ago, I got to hang out with all these lovely writers at KWELI’s Color of Children’s Literature Conference in New York. And this year, I’m going back!

But today I wanted to share an interview involving two of the cool people I met there. http://cynthialeitichsmith.blogspot.com/2018/02/author-interview-charlene-willing.html

Traci Sorrell interviewed Charlene Willing McManis on her goal to be a children’s writer.
