Children & Young Adult Literature (CYAL) Book Reviews

The Journal of Language and Literacy Education (JoLLE) reviews recently published or soon-to-be published Children’s and Young Adult Literature (CYAL). At JoLLE CYAL, we value students’ voices and creativity in reflecting their understanding and evaluation of the literature that is written for them. In addition, we also aim to provide a scholarly space for parents and teachers to work with their children and students in sharing their thoughts, experience, and evaluative judgements about these books to other adults throughout the country and all over the world.

This issue is a special issue of JoLLE, as we present book reviews that have not only been written by students and adults from the United States, but also other countries in the world, such as Indonesia and the Netherlands. We are also proud to feature book reviews completed by students with disabilities. This marks an important new beginning for us to embrace more diversity and take part in providing a medium to represent and share the voices from international children, caregivers, and scholars with and without disabilities.

We thank the students, teachers, and caregivers who have participated in our Children and Young Adult Literature book reviews. We hope to see more reviews from children and adults around the globe.

Poetry, Fiction, & Visual Arts

The Fall 2020 issue of JoLLE’s Poetry, Fiction, & Visual Arts section reminds us of the rich nexus through which language, learning, and experience come into being.  Our poets and artists (comprising of researchers, educators, and local Athens youth) provide us moving inspiration, layered memories, and poetic insights into a few of the binding, intersectional issues that face us today, such as identity and self-discovery, multimodal teaching and learning, and interpersonal communication in education. In a time in which we must stay distant, these works evoke our shared dreams and struggles in continuing to forge a better tomorrow.
