- Summary:
-
The book not only teaches about children's literature but sets it in a broad educational, artistic and social continuum. It engages with educational principles and pedagogies. It stimulates the reader's creativity overtly and deliberately - it is designed to stimulate the creativity of teachers themselves, in the work and activities they design for their classes, for this place, and in this moment. Its interdisciplinary focus means that the book has applications across the curriculum. It meets the need for such a book in parts of Asia where English is the language of instruction. It engages with classical, Indigenous, Western and Asian traditions. At a time when there are increasingly high demands on teachers, it is a book designed to promote creativity both in readers and in those with whom they interact as teachers and parents.
