Event Description : "LSD: Love, sex and darkness in books for children" discussion.

Should children’s books only deal with happy things? What about death, violence and sexuality? What about darkness and ugliness? Some people think we should protect children from the nasty things in life for as long as possible, whereas others hold that books can help children understand reality and learn to deal with it. The Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI, India) throws this question open to authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers, teachers, librarians and other stakeholders in children’s literature who will look at specific texts and illustrations and argue about their appropriateness for children and young adults.
