  • Keynote Speech - Storylines National Children’S Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017
    Keynote speech - Storylines National Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017 The rise and rise of New Zealand children’s publishing Tessa Duder Once upon a time – about 1978 - a young mother of four was struck in the middle of the night with an idea for a children’s novel. A sailing adventure! A family in peril! Would they survive the night?! This was very odd: she’d never written a word of fiction in her life. Sometime during the four years it took to write the story and get it published, she cut out the cartoon below from the Listener and filed it away. (Elderly man to non-so-young woman at cocktail party: And what are you falling back on to writing children’s books from?) Miraculously, 35 years and about 50 books later, she was able to find it in a musty box file. We may laugh at the sub-text of that remark, but actually ‘falling back onto children’s books’ from success as adult writers has some noble exemplars: Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Ian Fleming, A.A. Milne. Our own Janet Frame, Joy Cowley, William Taylor, Kate De Goldi, Graeme Lay, Barbara Else. Though it’s more often the reverse: highly skilled children’s writers ‘falling back’ onto writing for adults: think Mandy Hagar, Gaelyn Gordon, David Hill, Bernard Beckett, Fleur Beale, Roald Dahl, John Marsden, J.K. Rowling. The long path to success of Under the Mountain To consider one such fallen angel of the ‘falling back on to children’s’ variety, let’s recall the New Zealand of 1974.

  • Girls Will Be Boys, and Boys Will Be Girls: an Analysis of Gender Bias and Stereotyping in a Sample of New Zealand Picture Books
    Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls: An analysis of gender bias and stereotyping in a sample of New Zealand picture books. by Rhiann Munro Submitted to the School of Information Management, Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Studies June 2015 1 Abstract Research Problem This research project explores whether a sample of award nominated New Zealand picture books contain evidence of gender bias and stereotyping. As award nominated titles receive a greater level of public exposure, it is more likely they will be found in kindergartens, schools, and personal collections. Therefore it is more likely they will be read by educators, librarians, and young children. The sample included 54 titles nominated for the New Zealand Post Book Awards (best picture book prize) over the last ten years (2004-2014). Methodology This study developed a quantitative content analysis tool in order to assess the books. The content analysis quantified the number of times males and females were featured, and the number of times they were depicted participating in a range of stereotypical behaviours (active/passive character types, time spent indoors/outdoors, brave and nurturing actions). This study also explored the number of male and female characters that were depicted in paid employment, and the types of jobs they were assigned. Results and Implications The results demonstrated a likeness to trends seen in several overseas studies, and in general the female characters were vastly under-represented throughout the sample pool. However, some clear differences could be noted in the type and number of gender stereotypes seen throughout the books compared to those other studies.

Many cats love the texture of boxes to engage in healthy cat activities, like biting and scratching, says Burch. A box simply creates a safe, low-stress environment to do so. It's not all about touch—boxes engage other senses like smell, says Yvette Berke, outreach manager for The Little Angels Project , a nonprofit animal rescue in California. Due to the porous nature of cardboard, boxes absorb the smells of the environments around them. When a box has been handled by other people or has been outside, cats can smell that. As a result, you might notice your feline friend cuddling up to the box or rubbing their cheeks against the outside.

  • Representations of Diversity in the Revised New Zealand Picturebook Collection
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Commons@Waikato NEW REVIEW OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AND LIBRARIANSHIP 2017, VOL. 23, NO. 2, 172–186 https://doi.org/10.1080/13614541.2017.1367583 Representations of Diversity in the Revised New Zealand PictureBook Collection Nicola Daly Te Hononga School of Curriculum and Pedagogy, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ABSTRACT KEYWORDS Collections of children’s literature are used for a range of reasons Picturebooks; diversity; including preservation, record keeping, and more recently the collections encouragement of intercultural understanding. Both the signifi- cance of learning about other cultures and the importance of children seeing themselves reflected in the books that they read have been discussed extensively. In 2010, the New Zealand PictureBook Collection (NZPBC) was developed in order to create a resource that reflected New Zealand national identity. In 2015 the NZPBC was revised and this article presents a visual and textual analysis of the diversity present in the sixty books nomi- nated through the lens of critical multicultural analysis, using four variables. Findings indicate considerable diversity is present in the collection in terms of representations of ethnicity and family; less so for representations of disability and languages. Introduction Children ’s literature collections are used in a number of ways across the world. Some are collected as historical record of books from certain eras, for example, the Dorothy Neal White Collection housed at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa, which is a collection of over 7,000 English language books published before 1940 and donated to the library by the late and influential children’s librarian and Carnegie Fellow, Dorothy Neal White (Friends of the DNWC).
