Vivian Yenika-Agbaw | Ruth McKoy Lowery | Paul H. Ricks

Literary Criticism / Children's & Young Adult Literature

This book acknowledges the existence of high quality nonfiction children’s literature that may serve as a basis for conversation about civic engagements and our roles as global citizens. It touches on our social history, and offers ideas for how educators might be able to engage readers in healthy and useful dialogues on what it means to be human and how nonfiction texts attempt to reconstruct this reality in this quest to recognize our collective humanity.
