I’ve been meaning to mention that my collection of essays Textual Transformations in Children’s Literature has received a number of great reviews since it was published about a year ago—in journals such as Children’s Literature Association Quarterly, Choice, International Research in Children’s Literature, and Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures.

This annual event is open to authors, editors, and translators who have or have had some affiliation with the university. Here’s a photo of me—and the book!
