Please continue to sharing announcments about children's and young adult literature-related events and activities for the next day or so. Then we'll turn to our March discussions:
CCBC-Net Topics for March:
First Half of Month: Girl Stories: Female Characters in Books for Children and Teens. Back in November 2001 on CCBC-Net, we looked at strong female characters in fantasy novels for older children and teens. But what about other books? Do you cringe at every pink, sparkly princess book before cracking the cover? Are you sometimes pleasantly surprised by what you find inside? Do you find "Twilight's" Bella too whiny and simpering? What books to do you turn to for strong female role models? During the first part of March on CCBC-Net, we'll talk about the portrayal of girls and young women in books for children and teens: from stereotype to strong and everything in between.
Second Half of Month: Reading Aloud: Titles, Tips and Resources. Among the most common questions we get at the CCBC are suggestions for books to read aloud. It's been 6-1/2 years since we discussed read-alouds on CCBC-Net, so we'll spend the second half of March exploring this topic. We not only want your individual book suggestions but also insight into how you approach selecting books to read-aloud, what kind of advice you offer adults looking for books to share, and resources you turn to for additional suggestions and information.
