Angela Byrd

Harold Wilson’s guests on today’s Delmarva Today: Writer’s Edition focus on children’s literature and features the June 16 Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival in Easton, MD.  Host Harold Wilson’s guests are Tim Young, organizer of the festival and author of more than ten children’s books, and Laura Powell, Children/Young Adult Services Librarian at the library.  In addition four young people from the Salisbury area will  read their favorite books. Tim Young  and Laura Powell will  discuss the current themes in children’s literature, how what children are reading has changed over the past fifteen years. Also, is there a darker side to children’s literature today as there was in the past?
