Today we'll begin discussing our topic for the first part of September:
Publishing for Children and Teens in a Post-9/11 World
In 2002 we saw the first books for children and teens that were directly about 9/11 in some way, including "With Their Eyes" by Annie Thoms,
"Fireboat" by Maira Kalman, "911: The Book of Help" edited by Michael Cart, and "This Place I Know: Poems of Comfort" selected by Georgia Heard, and others. These were some of the "immediate" responses we saw in publishing for children and young adults.
Five years after September 11, 2001, do you think that day and events in its aftermath have impacted publishing for children and teens in other ways? Do you think their influence is reflected only in books like those above that specifically reference what happened, or do you see those events and related changes in our culture, society, and world influencing the treatment of broader topics and themes literature for childen and teens?
