“Everyday-ness”

I’ve taken this category from an article by Michelle Martin, a noted scholar in children’s literature, who said of Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de La Pena:

“I find it encouraging that this award winner tells a quiet story about an African American boy’s day in the city with his Nana that isn’t about 1) slavery, 2) the fight for civil rights or 3) famous black Americans, because if you strip those children’s and YA books out of the American literary record, you have a paltry list left,” Martin told a gathering in Cleveland. “We need more books like ‘Last Stop on Market Street,’ ‘One Word from Sophia’ and even Ezra Jack Keats’ 1965 ‘The Snowy Day’ that are about the dailiness of being a child of color in America.

So these books are books that fit Martin’s description -- for all sorts of facets of identity, not only race/ (They might also fit into one or more of the above categories).
