"
The Politics of Voice" by Gita Wolf, publisher of
Tara Books, who just spoke at an international
IBBY conference, is an important essay. She talks about the importance of giving child readers "variety of perspectives" and "acknowledging a multiplicity of experience" and giving a voice to those who are normally not heard. Her vision of publishing gives both India and the world stunning picture books, as well as celebrates the wide range of experiences and cultures in the world.
Tara Books looks to traditional artists to illustrate some of their wonderful books, such as
Do! (the
Bologna Ragazzi New Horizons winner),
The Night Life of Trees, and I Like Cats! I'm excited to see Tara Book's booth next week at the Frankfurt Book Fair and hope to catch up with Gita. The books she publishes are both works of art and literature.
