Description

Based on the premise that “All truth is God’s truth” (John Calvin) and that “Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth” (Albert Camus), this course explores the importance of juvenile literature in discovering the truth of human experience across social strata. Through this course, students will engage with children’s and young adult literature and literary criticism that focuses on the lived experiences of children and youth in contemporary K-12 classrooms.
