Contemporary Appalachian Picture Books, Judy A. Teaford

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Modern children’s literature stresses individualism and multiculturalism. The first concerns the push in children’s literature to place more emphasis on developing a child’s individuality, to celebrate individual triumph rather than communal action.
