The basics of children's literature: What is children's literature?
Introduction
Different people have different ideas about what is meant by the term "children's literature." Children's literature is, of course, intended to be read by children. It is, however, written, sold, purchased, and assessed by adults. In this video, we will consider these and other peculiarities inherent in defining children's literature.
The content of this video is based on ILCL lecture series on children's literature 2016 "The basics of children's literature: Things you should know when you give books for children" held on November 7, 2016, by Dr. Ariko KAWABATA, professor of the Faculty of Human Sciences and Design at Japan Women's University.
