Beskrivning

This open access book explores the ways in which children’s literature provides a source of hope in the classroom and beyond. Drawing on Ruth Levitas’s utopian method as a means of directing hope, the authors demonstrate how children’s literature can help young people navigate political, social, economic and environmental crises. The chapters cover topics and themes including social movements, friendship, picturebooks, education, equality and authorship. The contributors comment on a range of children’s authors including Tom Percival, Walid Taher and Matt de la Peña and draw on ideas from educators, philosophers and sociologists including Nel Noddings, Donna Haraway, Raymond Williams and Zygmunt Bauman. The book brings together international scholars working in the fields of education and children’s literature and includes perspectives from authors, publishers, educators, mediators, and children. It offers an interdisciplinary review of hope and its potential to position our thinking and work towards a future within the challenges of the Anthropocene.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The University of Wroclaw.

Recensioner i media

In an uncertain and chaotic world, hope often seems out of reach. The authors of this book help readers regain a sense of hope to re-imagine their futures and to believe that change is possible. By positioning children’s literature as resources of hope and providing multiple theoretical frames to define hope, readers gain the tools to explore hope in their own contexts.
