I’ve always been impressed by the natural transition that exists between the primary and secondary worlds in children’s literature. For example, something as trivial as a wardrobe, a tunnel, or in the case of Coraline, a hidden door literally leading to another world – a simple yet extraordinary transition from one’s familiar primary world to an unknown secondary world.
I read kids books is what I do. It's just me, reading kids books and writing my thoughts. I have a M.Ed. in Children's Literature, so in my years of researching children’s literature, I’ve found that children’s literature is essential to the personal and academic development of all children because it is a window that not only opens, but also reflects the diversity of our human experience. More importantly, it lets young readers and readers of all ages know that children and people like them are worthy of being in books. If you have any questions, comments, observations, or if you just want to say hello, send me an email.
