  6. “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.”

  11. 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.

  16. 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, DC
