Peacemaking in Children's Literature
Rogers, Rebecca; Calle-Díaz, Luzkarime; Vasser-Elong, Jason; Pacheco, Stefani
Journal of Children's Literature, v49 n1 p10-29 2023
This article asks: How is peacemaking represented in the Jane Addams Children's Book Award (JACBA) collection of children's book awardees (2015-2021)? The authors sought to build on previous scholarship that has examined JACBA, including Taber's (2015) study of JACBA for older readers and Colabucci and Napoli's (2017) study of JACBA's books for younger children. The authors were intrigued by Colabucci and Napoli's (2017) findings that one of the least represented criteria in JACBA (2005-2015) was "paths to peace" (p. 35). It is this issue to which the authors turn their attention in the present study of the JACBA collection for younger children (2015-2021). Uniting peace studies and critical discourse studies provides a prism-like lens to envision actions associated with peacemaking in the JACBA collection (2015-2021).
