September 2003: Naomi Shihab Nye
Poet Naomi Shihab Nye has created a variety of books for young readers, including poetry anthologies, picture books, and a young adult novel Habibi. As a Palestinian American she has also contributed an important voice in children's and young adult literature, writing from a perspective that is not often heard in the United States. On October 8, Ms. Nye will deliver the Sixth Annual Charlotte Zolotow Lecture on the UW-Madison campus.
October 2003: Literature on Community/Community through Literature
From Paul Fleischman's Seedfolks to Shirley Hughes's Trotter Street stories to works by Walter Dean Myers, George Ancona and others, many different portrayals of
"community" can be found in literature for children and young adults. We'll take a look at books that explore the concept of community in October. We'll also invite your ideas on how you use literature in the classroom or library setting to help create a sense of community.
November 2003: Coming of Age
One of the classic themes in literature for older children and teens is coming of age. In November, we'll look at coming of age stories, inviting you to share your favorites, and to also consider whether the coming of age novel has changed over the past few decades and, if so, how.
