WOW CurrentsDonna Bulatowicz and Desiree Cueto, among other guests, discuss the growing representation of under-represented groups in children s literature, where they highlight newer titles that are moving the work forward by reflecting the lives of these groups with depth and complexity for WOW Currents. They also consider how some representations in children s books have remained stagnant and limited to heroic or stereotypical representations. This series of WOW Currents, A Long Time Coming, centers on the progress made toward diversifying children s literature and on the need to further this effort.See our complete listing of all WOW Currents entries.My Take/Your TakeGlobally, children as well as adults have dealt with a variety of forms of displacement removed from their daily workplaces, activities, interactions with others and even how they attend to everyday needs. The displacement as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic involves both mental and physical challenges, and yet we need reminders that these can be met critically, creatively and successfully. Therefore, we provide our take on that reveal children placed in situations of displacement in hopes that the way they handle their situations reflect attributes and actions that speak in hopeful ways to challenges of readers.Take a look at our thematic index of books featured on My Take/Your Take.
