One of the aspects of this newly energized children's nonfiction that's so exciting is the opportunity for authors to reveal themselves, recognizing where they can't know the truth and sharing their efforts to get as close as possible with readers. Far too often, kids believe in the absolute and unwavering truth of what they read, and it's wonderful that authors can now show them how stories
(even (especially?) truths) change and evolve.
