Out and About in the Kidlitosphere
July 19, 2006
Pooja Makhijani, who contributed a guest column here recently, wrote an essay for the site PaperTigers called "Here to Stay: South Asian Literature for Children and Teens." She said,
...There has been a burst of literature for and about South Asian children and teens. Kids scouring libraries and bookstores today will find a good handful of realistic contemporary stories, set in specific South Asian or South Asian diasporic cultures, as well as a South Asian literary magazine for children, Kahani.
Meanwhile, in a bit of belated news, MotherReader and her 48-Hour Book Challenge reviewing marathon were featured at School Library Journal.
Congratulations to both writers!
Thanks for the shout out, Susan! There is an interesting discussion about the PaperTigers piece on Sepia Mutiny.
