- Reposted by Leaf Journal: On Writing for Young PeopleI don’t think any of this is a surprise and yet it’s still extremely concerning. Really shows the lack of commitment the industry has to improving and sustaining diverse representation in children’s literature. For things to be back sliding when they weren’t even where they needed to be…
