Something I've noticed over the last few years is that Canadian and U.K. publishers seem to have an especially s trong commitment to publishing children's and YA titles addressing social j ustice themes. Annick (Canada), Groundwood (Canada), and Frances Lincoln (U .K.) immediately come to mind. As far as U.S. publishers go, it seems to be the smaller, independent presses that are most committed to social justice books. Children's Book Press, Cinco Puntos, and Eeerdmans are among t hose. Is it just me or does anyone else notice this trend? What accounts fo r it?
