Welcome to my blog!! Here I will share my personal thoughts and feelings towards children's literature, professional reading, and other classroom experiences throughout my LIT5140: Advanced Study of Children's Literature course. Through these blog posts, I invite you to join me in the exploration and discovery of literature for young readers. I will not only provide a background of the readings but rather think critically, pose questions, make connections, and relate the readings to classroom applications, this in turn will assist in beginning to find and creating my own professional voice in the world of children's literature.
