Rita Williams-Garcia was one of several authors of children’s books, recently appearing on a Saturday panel entitled, “Women Aren’t Funny (And Other Essential Untruths for Middle-Grade Readers.) The panel also included kid writers, Andrea Beaty, Cece Bell, Betsy Bird and Erica Perl. The panel was overseen by editorial and marketing analyst, Sharyn November.
Humour and its innate importance was the main focus of the panel. November asked panellists to share their thoughts vis-à-vis the topic. “Humour gets us through dark times (and)…lets us keep going,” was one thought, expressed by Williams-Garcia. Other take-away thoughts included how humour can be both mentally stimulating and challenging, as with the Wimpy Kid series, also how books that include humour are a good way to lure kids, who may not be into books, into giving a book a try.
