“What happens when a mascot is seen as racist — but not by everyone?”
This is the question at the heart of Charles Waters and Traci Sorell's book " Mascot," a brilliant middle-grade novel that weaves together six students’ perspectives as they debate this hot-button issue.
With conversations about DEIA, cultural appropriation and respect sending tremors through our educational institutions, Sorell’s book is a perfect read for parents and young readers who hope to be future changemakers and activists — empowering them to listen, reflect and fight for justice in their communities.
Sorell joins Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures for a not-to-be-missed Words & Pictures lecture, speaking at 6 p.m. March 13 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall. Registration is free and open to the public, so get your seats while you can!
