Here are the topics for the next two months on CCBC-Net. We'll start the May discussion at the end of the week. Please continue your announcements for the next day or so. Megan
May:
First Two Weeks: Finding Home: Immigrants and Immigration in Books for Children and Young Adults. Ann Jaramillo?s La Linea chronicles the harrowing journey of new arrivals crossing the border illegally from Mexico into the United States. 1621: A New Look at Thanksgiving offers insight into some of the earliest new arrivals to the continent and their relationship with the American Indians they encountered. During the first half of May, we?ll talk about the portrayal of immigrants and immigration in literature for children and teenagers.
Second Two Weeks: Do You Want a Story with That? Literature for Youth as the Medium for a Message. Some books published for children and teenagers appear so intent on teaching a lesson or conveying a message that any understanding of the child audience, and what makes a good book for children, seems absent. Other books are more skillful at offering ideas, insights, or points of view in the context of a compelling, and often highly literary, story or narrative. During the second half of May, we?ll talk about literature for youth as the medium for conveying varied perspectives on the world.
June
First Two Weeks: I Can Do That! Celebrity Publishing. From political figures to rock stars to movie stars, many of us have our ?favorites? in the realm of celebrity publishing. We?ll spend the first half of June talking about the phenomenon of celebrity publishing and whether it matters to librarians, teachers, and others committed to making the best literature possible available to young readers.
Second Two Weeks: On the Road: Books about Traveling. From summer vacations to holiday journeys, trips that cross the ocean to trips that cross that state or town line, children, teens, and their families are on the road and on the move in many books for children and young adults. We?ll spend the second half of June talking about traveling stories and the world?s they can open up in the minds of young readers.
