CHILDREN'S AUTHOR LUCINE KASBARIAN AT ALMA ON APR. 2
Watertown TAB & Press, MA
April 1 2013
WATERTOWN - On Tuesday, April 2 (International Children's Book
Day) author Lucine Kasbarian is "In Conversation" with Senior Book
Review Editor Wilda Williams of Library Journal at the Armenian
Library and Museum of America. Kasbarian and Williams will discuss
the challenges and benefits of producing material in this field,
including insights from their work inside publishing. They will talk
about new directions in today's book publishing area, diversity in
children's books, literacy issues, and Armenian-Americans publishing
their own writings, among other topics. The audience is encouraged
to take part in the conversation.
Kasbarian is author of Armenia: A Rugged Land, an Enduring People (a
1998 Bank Street "Best Books of the Year" Selection) and The Greedy
Sparrow (an Honor Book in the 2012 Storytelling World Resources
Awards). Kasbarian's website (http://www.lucinekasbarian.com)
demonstrates how one story can act as a resource to teach about
cultures on multiple levels, providing study guides, creative ideas
and activities. In addition to writing, Kasbarian has worked as an
in-house publicist for major publishing companies and her own concern,
Progressive Book Publicity. She is also an avid political cartoonist.
Wilda Williams has been an editor and reviewer of many genres of books
at Library Journal for nearly 25 years. She also writes her own blog,

the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, aiming to inspire a love of
reading and to call attention to children's books. ALMA is pleased
