Caribbean children's literature has its origins in folktales and storytelling, with a rich history and language diversity. Post-1950s, the field has evolved, with writers from the region and its diaspora contributing to contemporary literature. The genre offers a window into local realities and fantasies, with young adult literature emerging in the 1970s to represent teenage voices and concerns. Local competitions and publishing awards have fueled the growth of the genre, providing new opportunities for scholarly analysis. Picture books have also deepened, with local authors discussing writerly concerns and publishing challenges. This volume includes general coverage of children's literary history in the regions influenced by colonial powers, intersections between pedagogy and children's literature, challenges in producing and publishing picture books, and interviews with international authors who have transitioned from writing for adults to creating picture books for children.
