Could a retired reading specialist be of any help in this analysis? <br />RETbookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724203854217733923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422332823670506235.post-19746334746987127642016-07-31T09:09:22.465-07:002016-07-31T09:09:22.465-07:00Thank you as always, CCBC, for doing tough, though...Thank you as always, CCBC, for doing tough, thoughtful work.

It would be fascinating to add in non-fiction, especially since so much of the diversity across the picture book format appears in non-fiction books. We love seeing great picture book bios or histories about people of color, but every year we ask ourselves why there are so many of them (relatively speaking) and so few picture book stories (truthfully speaking) about children of color and from First/Native Nations. (In other words, we don't want fewer of the non-fiction titles, but we need more diverse fictional picture book stories.)<br />Megan Schliesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615951367539232782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422332823670506235.post-20612743633914218922016-07-29T10:21:48.194-07:002016-07-29T10:21:48.194-07:00Thank you CCBC for digging deeper.

This is an interesting topic. I can't wait for the final results. I am also interested in any future projects that you might have that focus on picture book biographies and nonfiction picture books that focus on historical events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422332823670506235.post-28488550035329863352016-07-28T16:47:52.650-07:002016-07-28T16:47:52.650-07:00Fascinating and helpful statistics-- thank you!Fascinating and helpful statistics-- thank you!anndeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208767893502082556noreply@blogger.com
