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. By integrating students’ voices and parents/teachers’ insights, the book reviews place much emphasis on the educational impact of CYAL books on children and young adults. More importantly, the JoLLE CYAL book reviews aim to share the joy of reading literature from diverse perspectives and hearing students’ voices in response to diverse literature. For our spotlight this month, we invited highly acclaimed picturebook author and illustrator Hyewon Yum, who shared her stories as a Korean-American in the picturebook industry and as a mom living in New York City.

Poetry, Fiction, & Visual Arts
In the Spring 2019 issue of JoLLE, we are proud to present a Poetry, Fiction, & Visual Arts section that explores the intertwined and dynamic relationship among language, teaching, and learning in diverse contexts. Our poets, authors, and artists, who are also researchers and educators, provide us both practical inspiration and poetic interpretation of many issues, such as students’ voice and self-discovery, multimodal teaching and learning, and interpersonal communication in education.
