The picturebook is now recognized as a sophisticated art form that has provided a space for some of the most exciting innovations in the field of children’s literature. This book brings together the work of expert scholars from the UK, the USA and Europe to present original theoretical perspectives and new research on picturebooks and their readers. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines such as art and cultural history, semiotics, philosophy, cultural geography, visual literacy, education and literary theory in order to revisit the question of what a picturebook is, and how the best authors and illustrators meet and exceed artistic, narrative and cultural expectations. The book looks at the socio-historical conditions of different times and countries in which a range of picturebooks have been created, pointing out variations but also highlighting commonalities. It also discusses what the stretching of borders may mean for new generations of readers, and what contemporary children themselves have to say about picturebooks. This book was originally published as a special issue of the New Review of Children’s Literature and Librarianship.

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 vignettes 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.
