Saw that Jane Yolen died recently. I wrote a short essay about one of her many, many books, "Good Griselle", for a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly in 2004. #JaneYolen #DisabilityStudies #ChildrensLit

“When Barnett rails against the ‘didacticism’ of some books, we wonder who defines didactic? For Black and brown authors, for queer and trans authors, we have seen that very word used as a cudgel and dog whistle to decry the necessary diversification of children’s literature.”

This weekend I started #wikipedia articles on Baltimore-born sisters Elizabeth Gutman Kaye (1887-1971) and Adele Gutman Nathan (1889-1986); Elizabeth was a singer and artist, and Adele was a theatrical director who wrote more than a dozen children's books on history topics.

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle
The writer whose words are going to be read by children has a heavy responsibility. And yet, despite the undeniable fact that the children’s minds are tender, they are also far more tough than many people realize, and they have an openness and an ability to grapple with difficult concepts which many adults have lost. Writers of children’s literature are set apart by their willingness to confront difficult questions.
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DCMore about this quote: wist.info/lengle-madeleine/819…

“If we think about how women are portrayed in [MacDonald’s] fiction, we can see that women are shown to, repeatedly, rescue men. Men are taught by women, challenged by women, and also challenged to think about women in different ways.”

CW: spoilers: The Dark Is Rising
"fight battles to get more strength levels"
I'm very over this approach - so many hours playing Diablo computer game?
Strangely the earliest example I've found is a British mytho-fantasy book series called The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper that first appeared in 1965.
Otherwise excellent, the repeated, inevitable victory by the books' main characters becomes increasingly irksome.

If you're looking for a great read aloud for ages 6-10, I highly recommend The Hotel Balzaar. Well, anything Kate DiCamillo is great. So for the kiddos in your life- this can't be passed up!

Book recommendation for ages 8-13. Delphine and the Silver Needle by Alyssa Moon is published by Disney and involves a young mouse living in Cinderella's village. This tells the story of a young girl trying to figure out who she is and where she comes from. Her adventures travelling through France are full of mystery, battles, and friendship. Perfect for reading a chapter at night.

"I did come up with an exact answer: though published in 1961, 'The Phantom Tollbooth' begins on..."
@leonardr rereads Norton Juster's classic children's book and uses the 0.58 "average boy" size, Chroma's scheduled time to conduct the sunrise, Soundkeeper & Doldrums rules, and other clues to determine the date of Milo's adventure.
