Children’s Literature is no longer a mere discipline, but has evolved into a discourse that elicits much multidimensional debate. Owing to the changing landscape of global politics, the post Covid trauma and the sudden migration to the digital world, experts and researchers are now focusing more on children and their issues. We hope to bring together scholars, researchers and practitioners to engage in a meaningful exchange of ideas and insights that will open up new avenues of learning and understanding Children’s Literature
