This open access book offers an array of educational perspectives aimed at fostering inclusive, multicultural, critical, dialogical, and sustainable approaches to developing children’s literature in university classrooms. Its core pillars—environmental children’s literature, ecocritical thinking, sustainable development, collaboration, and dialogic skills—lay the foundation for future professionals to be involved with literature in multiple and interdisciplinary ways. This book illustrates and encourages educational practices fostering critical, relational, and collaborative encounters and entanglements with multiple environments, materials, and matter.
The many examples in this book are developed through various forms of collaboration between teacher educators and student teachers, between students and children’s literature, and in collaboration with different materials, spaces, bodies, sounds, and smells.
It provides educators with a methodology for teaching children’s literature to students with a focus on topics related to sustainability, critical citizenship, and inclusion.
