The Rhetorical Power of Children's Literature is an edited volume
with contributions from established and new scholars of rhetoric
offering case studies that analyze a full array of genres in
children's literature from picture books to young adult novels.
Collectively, this volume's contributions interrogate how
children's literature is a powerful yet under examined space of
rhetorical discourse that influences one of the most vulnerable
segments of our population. This book is singularly unique given
that it will be the first collection of essays on children's
literature from the distinct perspective of the field of
Communication. Beyond topical novelty, the contributors utilize a
range of scholarly methods to analyze instances of the rhetoric of
children's literature. Consequently, essays in this volume may be
read for both their specific topical content and as exemplars for
multiple methodological approaches to the study of the rhetoric of
children's literature. Collectively, the contributors set out to
contribute to our knowledge of how instances of children's
literature operate as rhetorical discourses. The volume is
organized by case studies approached through critical, rhetorical
lenses that analyze specific instances of children's literature
from two distinct stages of children's developmental reading
experiences including pre/early literacy and fluent reading.
Structurally, the book includes eight content chapters divided
evenly with four chapters analyzing books for young children and
four chapters analyzing books targeting audiences from
late-childhood to adolescence. An overview of each content chapter
accompanies this proposal. is an edited volume with contributions
