R+W connecting the ANDs Family Book Club

Roots + Wings School of Art + Design is pleased to offer a new book club for the whole family! Each season, we’ll select a series of books dealing with social issues, including books for adults, teens, middle grade students, and picture books and host a series of discussion groups and events for various ages, or follow along on your own and have your own book club discussion around the dinner table.
We don’t claim to be experts in any of these topics, but as one of our connecting the ANDs projects, the goal of this book club is to build community, expand our circle, and create meaningful connections. We want to hold space for these important conversations in and across communities. We’ll also collect and share resources to help support families having conversations around these sometimes difficult subjects. Visit rootsandwingsarts.com for more information and registration. We suggest a donation of $10 per series, 10% of which goes directly to support the Colorful Pages Coalition.
