Hurray for you, too, Susan Kuklin! Thank you for "speaking up" within the CCBC-NET community. This message is going to the whole CCBC-NET community, by the way. As you already realize, quite a few of your books for children and young teenagers fit into more than one section of Eliza Dresang & Kate McClelland's second and third Radical Change categories. Looking only at "providing young people with opportunities to speak for themselves," we might think about your extraordinary book Speaking Out: Teenagers Take on Race, Sex, and Identity (first published in 1993 by Putnam. Will you tell us something about the process you use to "hear" what your subjects are telling you and then shape it for your book without changing their meaning? Other examples might be Irrepressible Spirit: Conversations with Human Rights Activists (Putnam, 1996) and the book for younger children How My Family Lives in America (Bradbury, 1992). How do you make it possible for your young subjects to speak for themselves? Cheers, Ginny Moore Kruse

Hi everybody:
This is the first time I am writing on the CCBC listserve. It's scary!
As an author of non fiction children's books I must say it is fascinating to "sit in" on your discussions. One of the perks of my job is that I get to be friends with Vera B. Williams. Having seen the F&G's of Hooray For Me, I am happy to report that the new edition is a knockout!!! Hooray for us!
