\"LUMEN<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s now a good solid month or two into the new academic year, and just in time to get ahead of that mid-semester slump, the fourth issue of Lumen\u00a0<\/em>is dropping on Friday!\u00a0 Following up on\u00a0L<\/em>umen\u00a0<\/em>No. 3, in which Iris shared some of her\u00a0favorite\u00a0middle-grade and YA books for young APA readers, in\u00a0Lumen<\/em> No. 4, Mia writes about books for younger children that she has enjoyed reading and sharing with her family. Here’s a sneak preview of some of her thoughts on the matter:<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s a privilege to raise children in a literary landscape that includes such a wealth of talented APA children\u2019s authors. . . .\u00a0<\/span>As a parent, I want nothing more than for my children to read books that enrich the imagination, that broaden their capacities for empathy, and that expand their worlds to include unfamiliar places and ways of living, while also affirming their lived experiences and the experiences of those around them. <\/span>“<\/span><\/p>\n
