Emerging from the Children's Literature Assembly's postconference workshop following the 1999 NCTE fall conference, this compilation of delivered speeches and reflective chapters offers insight into the broad development of American children's literature in the 20th century. With speeches by such luminaries as Julius Lester, Lois Lowry, Uri Shulevitz, and Lee Bennett Hopkins, as well as fascinating chapters by experts Teri Lesene, Barbara Elleman, and others, this volume offers wonderful insight for library educators and practitioners alike.
