This interview celebrates the end of Jason Reynold’s three-year tenure as the national ambassador for young people’s literature through the Library of Congress. Reynolds discusses why young people may not feel drawn to read, touching on the importance of finding oneself reflected in literature, and how critical it is for young people to realize that they each have an important personal story that is just as interesting and important as those found in books. Any teacher working with learners on literacy, motivation to read, and developing personal relevance would find useful strategies and perspectives in this interview.
