Other recommendations are based on online booklists and reviews (see list on final pages). Two stars (**) signal books I have read myself and consider to be particularly good. Annotations signal books in under-represented areas (e.g. bisexual and trans characters, characters of different ethnicities, books published in the UK). Board books and picture books Josh and Jaz Have Three Mums. Hedi Argent and Amanda Wood (ill.). British Association for Adoption and Fostering: 2007 This UK picture book tells the story of how twins Josh and Jaz were adopted by their two mummies as their birth mum and dad were unable to take care of them. Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress. Christine Baldacchino and Isabelle Malenfant (ill.). Groundwood Books: 2014. This book depicts a boy who does not conform to gender norms.

    BLOCK MAGIC: CATEGORIZATION, CREATION, AND INFLUENCE OF FRANCESCA LIA BLOCK'S ENCHANTED AMERICA by AMANDA ELLEN McKINLAY B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1998 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Interdisciplinary Children's Literature Programme We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2004 © Amanda Ellen McKinlay, 2004 Library Authorization In presenting this thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

The University of British Columbia ' J Vancouver, BC Canada Abstract: Block Magic This study addresses three questions concerning the young adult literature of Francesca Lia Block: (1) How does Block's writing fit into the tradition of fantasy literature for children? (2) How does she interpret and create her brand of magic realism? (3) What is the relevance of Block's writing to young adults? A review of the limited literary commentary on the subject of Block's works reveals that Block's place and impact in the field of children's literature is largely ignored.
