ELMER'S JOURNEY WITH LISA VON DRASEK | Special Perks for Educators!
Advertisement
šŸ“¢ Calling all teachers, librarians, and children's literature enthusiasts! šŸ“¢
Join The Rabbit hOle for a very special evening with Lisa Von Drasek, Curator of University of Minnesota’s Kerlan Collection of Children's Literature.
She will discuss how the progressive education movement of the early 20th century impacted Ruth Stiles Gannett, author of the beloved classic, My Father’s Dragon.
Reprising a presentation she delivered in Japan on the anniversary of the book, Lisa will show how Elmer’s journey to save the dragon embodies a core philosophy that Ruth carried throughout her life: "learn by doing."
