Great idea to give this class a plug, Nina. I took the course and really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the history of the Newbery Award, read a lot of books and got to hear the perspectives of different readers. I highly recommend the course to anyone who likes children’s lit. K.T. is a terrific teacher and moderator of the course.
Oh wow, I was just wondering if this would be offered again. I’ll be looking into it. If for no other reason than to sound less idiotic in this forum.
Thank you so much for writing about this course. I was able to sign up and am looking forward to a wonderful experience!
