I strongly second Annete's post. Both Thom and I are taking classes of MLIS students to Bologna this month for the international children's bookfair. Doris Gebel, Junko Yokota, and Linda Pavonetti have all been generous in helping to train our Rutgers students. I see the students who take my class, and Thom's at Dominican, as real advocates and apostles for a wider view of books for younger readers, both in English and in their original languages.

Re: [ccbc-net] Activism
Thank you, Sarah! I will share your summary and excellent additional ideas with my graduate children's literature class -- a course that begins and ends with a discussion of diversity that continues all through the middle.
I came to this discussion so late that I missed it entirely but I have read every word. I appreciate the honesty and goodwill of all concerned, and have bookmarked many resources that I learned about here. This is why ccbc-net is my favorite listserv and the one that I recommend personally to my students.
I know the discussion is officially over, but hoping (as I think Helen Frost suggested) that we can continue just a bit over the weekend, I would like to point out that many of the issues raised here also apply to international children's literature and I was pleased to see translation, cultural and otherwise, discussed as part of the package. I think that our efforts to encourage the production of more diverse books should include getting more translations and English-language imports from other countries into the hands of children.
Best, Annette
