We’re pleased to share that the recording of the 2026 Zena Sutherland Lecture, “Embracing My Own Boldness (In a world that demands that I be humble),” presented by Jerry Craft, the best‑selling, award‑winning author and illustrator, is now available for you to revisit or enjoy for the first time.
This recording will be viewable on the Chicago Public Library’s YouTube channel through Sunday, June 7.
We hope you enjoy the lecture, presented with gratitude with CPL's Children's Services and Family Engagement Department and partners from The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, The Zena Sutherland Committee and The Horn Book Magazine.
