Children's and Adolescent Literature

You start your week with "Children's Literature History." Today, you trace the evolution of picture books from early chapbooks to the Golden Age. Later, in your "Genre Studies" class, a professor discussion reveals how historical context shapes fantasy tropes, making you rethink your own initial reading of a classic. You miss a subtle point in the assigned article, but make a mental note to re-read it. After classes, you head to the campus literary magazine meeting, brainstorming ideas for the next issue. You feel excited by the collaborative energy.
