May Historical Fiction: We'll revisit this topic that was first explored in depth on CCBC-Net in October, 1997. What are your favorite works of Historical Fiction? Beyond a terrific story, what else do you think must be considered when evaluating books in the genre? We'll examine these and other issues in May.
June GLBT Literature for Children and Young Adults: This month we'll look at how literature for youth featuring gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered characters has evolved over the years. What has changed in terms of the books themselves--both literature for children and literature for teens--and in terms of how the literature is perceived and received. How have the attitudes of children and young adults changed? What about the attitudes of librarians, teachers, and the larger communities in which our work is carried out?
July Popular Culture and Books for Children and Young Adults: From TV Tie-Ins to plush toys, instant messaging to emoticons, literature for children and young adults is connected in numerous ways to popular culture. We'll explore way book and publishing today reflect popular culture, and sometimes play a part in defining it.
Please post any additional beginningt-of-the month announcements for May today. We'll begin the CCBC-Net discussion for May tomorrow
(Wednesday, May 5).
