Hello, here is my reading list for LIS 7190 Social Justice and Children’s/YA Literature. We’ll also have some “find and read” assignments, such as “find and read a picture book about transracial adoption” or “find and read a book from the Sydney Taylor Book Award list” or “pick one and read” from a provided list.
