You are all cordially invited to the Fifth Annual Beverly Lyon Clark Children’s Literature Symposium, commemorating the late researcher, educator, and beloved Wheaton colleague with contemporary scholarship exploring storytelling and materials intended for young peoples. The all-day event begins with light refreshments at 8:30am.

The Children’s Literature Symposium is a yearly tradition that honors the late Professor Beverly Clark (1948-2021), by providing the opportunity for undergraduate students, early-career researchers, and creatives to share their experiences and relationships with children’s literature. The theme for this year’s symposium is trees—representative of growth, roots, family, and life.
