Diversity, equity, and inclusion has long been the focus of educational scholarship.

Chung, Sunah; Chaudhri, Amina – Journal of Children's Literature, 2021
In the realm of modern children's literature, biographies of women showcase lives of exceptional talent, perseverance, civic engagement, and more: lives meant to inspire young readers. Since its inception in 2001, the Robert Sibert Informational Book Medal and Honor award has included a biography (or two) every year, with the exception of 2004 and…

Connors, Sean P.; Trites, Roberta Seelinger – Journal of Children's Literature, 2021
The disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on First Nations peoples and on other communities of color is not new. Indigenous peoples, Black people, and other marginalized communities experience the consequences of environmental degradation disproportionately (Taylor, 2014; Washington, 2019), telling us that environmental justice and…

Wargo, Jon M.; Coleman, James Joshua – Journal of Children's Literature, 2021
Historically, early lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-inclusive (LGBTQ+) picturebooks deployed representations of (in)human characters (i.e., birds, bunnies, shapeshifters, and more) to open readers to queer subjects (Young, 2019). While useful for expanding conceptions of queer life, such a move has had unintended consequences. The…

Sharing literature representative of students' diverse experiences opens up conversations, invites inquiry, and develops empathy (Ward & Warren, 2020). It is well documented, however, that these books can be challenging to locate in schools, libraries, and bookstores (Bickmore, Xu, & Sheridan, 2017; Crisp et al., 2016; Jipson & Paley,…

Rodriguez, Noreen Naseem; Kim, Esther June – Journal of Children's Literature, 2018
A limited number of studies have examined Asian American children's literature over the last half century. While the selection and availability of this literature has increased substantially in the last two decades, many of these texts continue to perpetuate stereotypes (Morgan, 2012), such as the overachieving model minority (Loh-Hagen, 2014) and…

Rohloff, Rebecca; May, Laura – Journal of Children's Literature, 2017
Teachers report using trade books in the science classroom to humanize the subject matter, appeal to student interests, and aid with understanding (Fang, 2014). Trade books are deemed easier to read aloud and more appealing to younger readers, while some teachers also believe that trade books add an emotive element to the field of science (Donovan…
