Recensioner i media

While this book is an essential read for teachers and teacher educators who hope to incorporate comics into their curricula and to expand their definitions of literacy and literature, it is even more important for its unwavering commitment to diverse texts. Tarbox brings an invaluable perspective forward, and her critical approach challenges educators and scholars of children’s and young adult literature to rethink the texts we see as valuable.
