Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on and inspired by the work of Paulo Freire, this book offers an accessible introduction to how children's literature can be used in classrooms to explore cultural diversity and nurture collective qualities of shared joy, love and agency.

The chapters include discussions of polyvocality, student voice, critical parent engagement, hip hop and digital popular culture.
