“Everything we read, from
sexist advertisements and
women’s magazines, to romance
novels andchildren’s books,
CONSTRUCTS us, makes us who we are, by
presenting our image of ourselves as girls
and
women, as boys and men.
We who write children’s books, and we who
teach through literature, need to be sure we
are opening doors to full human potential,
not closing them.”
9. “We are going beyond the
four F’s:
Food
Fashion
Festivals
Folklore
(although some of the folk literature
selections on the lists are wonderful!)

Global Literature”

whether I am black or white, small or big, rich or poor,
born here or somewhere else.”
