Here are the CCBC-Net Topics we'll be discussing in May:
*
*First Two Weeks: Books about the Middle East: The first eight years of the twenty-first century have seen a dramatic increase in the number of books for children and teens about the Middle East. Books for children and teens have looked beyond the headlines to tell stories about young people whose lives are often mired in complex politics, and illuminated parts of the world about which readers in the west hear too little. During the first half of May, we?ll discuss books for children and teens about the Middle East.
*\*Second two Weeks: GLBTQ Literature. In June, 2004, we discussed gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered literature for youth on CCBC-net. We have been struck by the fact that publishing reflecting the experiences of lesbian, gay, bixesxual, transgendered, and questioning youth has, in just a few years, grown exponentially, and in that growth we are seeing more new voices and greater diversity of experience. During the second half of May, we?ll discuss GLBTQ publishing in the past few years.
Upcoming Topics:
June 2008:
First Two Weeks: The Books of Jacqueline Woodson. Special Guest: Jacqueline Woodson.
Second Two Weeks: Everybody's Talkin': Books and Blogs.
July 2008:
First Two Weeks: On Vacation. (That would be books about vacations--we'll still be here!)
Second Two Weeks: "Minders of Make-Believe": Publishing for Children in the Twentieth Century and Beyond. Special Guest: Leonard S. Marcus.
Please feel free to continue to share announcements for the next few days.
