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 entering in the 1970s and picture books deepening. Caribbean Children's Literature, Volume 1: History, Pedagogy, and Publishing explores the challenges of producing and publishing picture books, addresses intersections between pedagogy and children's literature in the Anglophone Caribbean, and engages with local authors. International authors Edwidge Danticat, Junot Díaz, and Olive Senior discuss their transition from writing for adults to creating picture books for children.
