Award-Winning Children's Author Jane Breskin Zalben to Speak at Boise State University

Children’s author Jane Breskin Zalben will give a brownbag lunch talk from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. April 20 in the Boise State University Student Union Farnsworth Room. The talk is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by the College of Education Department of Literacy.

Zalben is the author and illustrator of more than 50 picture books and novels for children, including “Paths to Peace — People Who Changed the World,” “Let There Be Light: Poems,” and “Prayers for Repairing the World.” Her stories tell of characters who deal with the stuff of life: friendship, family, self-reliance and inner strength.

Zalben will talk about writing and illustrating books for children. In addition, Zalben’s original art from “Paths to Peace” as well as art from other books will be shown on April 20-21 and April 24-25 at the J Crist Gallery, 223 S. 17th St., Boise. A public reception will be held there from 5-7 p.m. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Idaho Peace Coalition.
