Reviewers Are Talking About Exploring Culturally Diverse Literature for Children and Adolescents:

“The strengths of the book are that it continues to introduce the notion of the need for cultural diversity in children's literature discussions and does so in some depth rather than superficially.”
Ian W. Andrews, Eastern Michigan University

“ This text represents an insightful collection of chapters that focus on pertinent issues around diversity. The authors of the chapters in the text deal with tough, salient, and thought-provoking matters, and the writing is compelling and inviting. It will be a great resource for those of us interested in cultural diversity from a variety of disciplines. This is a wonderful collection of work and quite timely!”
H. Richard Milner, Vanderbilt University
