Building on and inspired by the work of Paulo Freire, this book
offers an accessible introduction to how children’s literature
can be used in classrooms to explore cultural diversity and nurture
collective qualities of shared joy, love and agency. The authors
show how critical pedagogy and culturally responsive instruction
can create meaningful ways for parents, teachers, and community
leaders to engage with children's and young adult literature. The
chapters include discussions of polyvocality, student voice,
critical parent engagement, hip hop and digital popular culture.
The authors demonstrate how readings of children’s literature,
particularly multicultural literature, increase student joy, and
engagement, reduce prejudice, and help students develop critical
consciousness. Unique and theoretically grounded, the book presents
many opportunities to weave the ideas of Freire into the fabric of
K-12 schooling.
