Description:
In this seminar you will read works by and about six children's authors, paying special attention to the authors' own statements about the creative process. The authors and illustrators will change semester to semester; in previous years we considered the works of Eric Carle, Leo Lionni, Katherine Paterson, Jane Kurtz, Julius Lester, Philip Pullman, Jane Yolen, to name some. During the semester, three of the authors studied will enter the online discussion with the class for one week each.
