Blood; Guts and Alphabets explores the gritty truth about children's literature. From picture books and fairy tales; to intermediate and YA fiction; we'll think about what it means to be a child; and what it means to be human; what children's literature is for; and how it reflects many of the difficult truths and injustices of the actual world we live in. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? We aren't. (Offered on demand)
