"Charlotte Huck's Children's Literature continues to be the classic, comprehensive text for those involved in all aspects of the evaluation and selection of children's literature for preK through middle- school readers. Like no other book, it not only provides the classroom teacher, librarian, administrator, and parent with a thorough understanding of children's literature, but it also-like no other book-reflects the passion for children's literature that resonated with Charlotte Huck. A true pioneer in the field, it was apparent that Charlotte's goal was not for readers to simply learn the history, concepts, and evaluation criteria necessary to understand and select children's literature-but to jump headfirst into the joy and excitement that the literature of childhood can bring, and in turn to share this enthusiasm with the children they teach. As we continue with the tenets originated by Charlotte, who passed away in 2005, we keep that goal of passion and enthusiasm at the forefront of our writing"--

Are some of the world's most talented children's book authors essentially children themselves? In this engaging series of essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alison Lurie considers this theory, exploring children's classics from many eras and relating them to the authors who wrote them, including Little Women author Louisa May Alcott and Wizard of Oz author Frank Baum, as well as Dr. Seuss and Salman Rushdie. Analyzing these and many others, Lurie shows how these gifted writers have used children's literature to transfigure sorrow, nostalgia, and the struggles of their own experiences.

It was February 1, 1960. They didn't need menus. Their order was simple. A doughnut and coffee, with cream on the side. This picture book is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the momentous Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in, when four college students staged a peaceful protest that became a defining moment in the struggle for racial equality and the growing civil rights movement. Andrea Davis Pinkney uses poetic, powerful prose to tell the story of these four young men, who followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words of peaceful protest and dared to sit at the "whites only" Woolworth's lunch counter. Brian Pinkney embraces a new artistic style, creating expressive paintings filled with emotion that mirror the hope, strength, and determination that fueled the dreams of not only these four young men, but also countless others.
