A rock-solid education with a firm foundation of reading skills will give our children access to every opportunity in life to succeed.

  • Hamline MFAC January 2016 RECOMMENDED OLDER BOOKS
    Hamline MFAC January 2016 RECOMMENDED OLDER BOOKS Below are some recommended older works of children’s literature written in English, all published before 2001. Some of these books were not published for children, though most of them were. We think they all have a lot to offer for understanding writing for young audiences. Reading these books is recommended, but not required. The list should prove useful as you select topics for your critical essays, and as you look to deepen your understanding of craft in particular areas. This list has two missions. 1. The first and primary mission is to expose you to older books that the faculty judges useful to read as a writer. Each provides some insight into making books for children. Some of these stories are outdated now in terms of certain craft elements and politics. Our country’s history of diversity and representation has been (and continues to be) problematic. Yet we still feel these stories useful for writers to know and think about. They are brilliant in their ways. 2. The second mission is to deepen our students’ understanding of the history of children’s literature written in English. That means these books supplement the required historical and critical readings with primary source material, and will complement the lectures surveying the history of children’s literature that Kerlan librarian Lisa Von Drasek will be giving in our program starting in July 2016. To be a master of any subject, one must understand its past, and we want this reading list to help you start thinking about our current representations, storytelling practices, and ideas of childhood by charting some of our history.

Order a reprint of this article now. » October 12, 1988 Ursula Nordstrom, 78, a Nurturer Of Authors for Children, Is Dead By SUSAN HELLER ANDERSON Ursula Nordstrom, the former publisher and editor in chief of juvenile books at Harper & Row, and an innovative force in children's book publishing, died of ovarian cancer yesterday at the New Milford (Conn.) Hospital. She was 78 years old and lived in Bridgewater, Conn. Miss Nordstrom is credited with helping to change children's books from moralistic works written for adult approval to works directed at the emotions, imaginations and problems of children. The New York Times called her books ''milestones along the path of children's literature.'' In 1945 Miss Nordstrom edited E. B. White's first children's book, ''Stuart Little.'' In 1952 the author unexpectedly presented her with his only copy of the manuscript of ''Charlotte's Web,'' and she described the moment with the relish and enthusiasm of someone who treasured writers. ''I was overwhelmed,'' she wrote in an article in The New York Times Book Review in 1974. ''I didn't dare take a chance on losing the manuscript on the train home, or whatever. So I sat down and began to read.'' Respect for Children Miss Nordstrom exhibited equal respect for her audience of children, appealing to their fantasies as well as their fears.
