This tutorial is inspired by library educator Pernille Ripp, who helps librarians nurture every child's reading identity. Through simple reflection, creative expression, and meaningful conversations, librarians learn how to create spaces where children see themselves as readers on their own terms. By understanding each child's interests, experiences, and reading journey, librarians can foster greater choice, confidence, joy, and lifelong engagement with reading.
