Children's Literature Summer 1999 Forums

The 22nd annual series of Children's Literature Summer Forums is co-sponsored by the Children's Literature Research Collections and University Summer Sessions. Each 45-minute presentation will begin at 2:15 p.m. and will be followed by time for questions. All forums are held in the Arthur Upson Room, 109 Walter Library, and are free and open to the public.

Thursday, June 17: Prof. Anne Lundin
Exploding Canons: Revisiting Children's Classics.
Professor Lundin will talk on her work-in-progress--a study of the canon of children's literature, the making of a children's book into "a classic." The research focuses on the reception history and reputation of sixty-five titles that the Children's Literature Association listed as "Touchstones" in the mid-1980's. She argues for the role of sociopolitical factors in shaping the reputation of "the best" children's books by contextualizing the value construction of children's books by adults. Factors such as reviews, publishing history, mediation by librarians, and interpretation by the media are all considered.

Thursday, June 24: Dr. Carolyn B. Gwinn
Multicultural Literature: Influencing Children's Perspective of Diversity.
Dr. Gwinn, who received her Ph.D. in Education from the University of Minnesota, is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education & Human Development at the University.

Dr. Gwinn has presented findings at both the state and international levels regarding the integration of multicultural literature across the elementary curriculum. Her work in the area of multicultural literature was inspired by the emergence of an increasingly diverse student population and the mounting popularity of literature-based instruction. The research Dr. Gwinn will present at the Summer Forum is as a result of a literature-based, response centered study she conducted with second grade students.

Thursday, July 1: Dr. Susan Stan
The Art of International Picture Books
Susan Stan is an assistant professor of English at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. She teaches courses in children's literature, with an emphasis on multicultural and international literature for children and young adults. In 1997 she received a Ph.D. in Literacy Education from the University of Minnesota, where her dissertation was an examination of picture books from other countries. She will present examples from Hans Christian Andersen Award illustrators.

Thursday, July 15: Barbara Elleman, Author
On the Trail of Tomie dePaola: Researching His Art and Stories.
Barbara Elleman is a distinguished Scholar of Children's Literature in the School of Education at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was formerly the creator, editor and chief of Book Links, Editor of the Children's Section of Booklist, and a public librarian in Wisconsin and Colorado. She is the author of Tomie dePaola, His Art and His Stories (Putnam, 1999).

Thursday, July 29: Barbara Joosse
The everyday incidents of childhood occupy the pages of Barbara M. Joosse's children's stories. These events are a mixture of the trials and tribulations Joosse remembers from her own childhood in Wisconsin and those she endured later as a mother of three children. Barbara Joosse has won many awards, including Picture Book Award, Council of Wisconsin Writers; and the Golden Kite Award.
An autographing session follow her talk. Books will be available for purchase.

HESS ANNIVERSARY
Thursday, August 12: J. Randolph Cox
The Children's Literature Research Collections is celebrating the 45th Anniversary of the Hess Collection. J. Randolph Cox will be speaking about the Hess Collection and discussing Nick Carter at the University.

Nick Carter, the creation of John R. Coryell, was one of the most popular fictional detectives in the dime novels of the late 19th and early 20th century who appeared in hundreds of stories in Street & Smith's New York Weekly, the Nick Carter Library, Nick Carter Weekly, Nick Carter Stories, most of which were collected and published as books in the same publisher's Magnet Library and New Magnet Library.

This talk will focus on some of the reasons for J. Randolph Cox's continuing fascination with the character, the popularity of the character and look at the results of his research of 30 years (much of it spent in the Hess Collection) to identify the real authors behind the pseudonym "Nicholas Carter." Slides of examples from the author's collection will be used to illustrate the presentation.

J. Randolph Cox is a reference librarian and Professor Emeritus at St. Olaf College. Editor-Publisher of Dime Novel Round-Up; Area Chair for Dime Novels, Series Books, and Pulp Magazines of the American Culture Association (1987-1992); contributed articles on detective fiction, dime novels and other journals and reference books.

Her first children's book, Mud, written by Mary Lyn Ray, was named and IRA-CBC Children's Choice and won the Minnesota Book Award for Illustration. Ms. Stringer lives in Minneapolis with her husband, artist and composer Matthew Smith, and their two children.

From the Curator

Crossing Both the Atlantic and the Pacific
Children's books serve as bridges between countries. American children read classics and glean something about the culture about nineteenth century Switzerland from Heidi and Italy from Pinocchio and twentieth century Sweden from Pippi Longstocking and Germany from Emil and the Detectives.

Irvin Kerlan, MD and founder of the Kerlan Collection, loaned books and art from his private collection in Washington, D. C. to the USIA for exhibit abroad in the late 1940s and 1950s. Continuing his commitment, the Kerlan Collection, now located at the University of Minnesota expanded its international holdings and loans original art exhibits overseas. In 1980, the Grotto Foundation supported purchase of non-English language books. Lutheran Brotherhood Foundation assisted with acquisition of Norwegian books. Simultaneously, the Children's Literature Research Collections (CLRC) may sponsor traveling exhibits.

In 1985, a traveling exhibit entitled "An American Sampler" with forty pieces of art or manuscripts and the accompanying books traveled to the international Bologna Children's Book Fair. Then in 1987 the University Art Museum collaborated with the Kerlan Collection to send an exhibit of Gustaf Tenggren originals to six sites in Sweden, including the National Museum in Stockholm. Currently there are two exhibits in Japan. Motoo Ito, supported by the giant newspaper Asahi, selected 152 works and 28 Children's Book Week posters for exhibits in six museums. Meanwhile, in 1999 the Kijo Picture Village gallery has another eighty pieces on display. Families drive from distant cities to spend a day or more in its library of 10,000 international picture books in original language or Japanese language. Its gallery, bookstore, lecture hall, and amphitheaters are in a natural setting with hills and rice fields. For the fall of 2000, Kijo has selected Wanda Gag for its exhibit focus.

CLRC sponsored the International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) Magazine Traveling Exhibit at the Festival of Nations in 1992. Exhibits of books and replicas entitled "Roots in Denmark; Danish Picture Books for Children" came in 1992 and the "Moomin" exhibit from Finland followed in 1993. An IBBY Exhibit of more than one hundred international books in 1998 have come to the reading room. Now in this fiftieth anniversary year of the Kerlan collection at the University, an extensive Norwegian Children's Book Exhibit entitled "Trolls, Mrs. Pepperpot and Beyond" will arrive in mid-November for a month. Because of the CLRC forthcoming move, the venue for this display will be Wilson Library's fourth floor gallery.

Picture book characters such as Anatole, a happy lion, Elmer and his dragon, the family with an ox cart, Ramona and a very old man and a very old woman with the millions of cats become good will ambassadors to countries across both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Meanwhile, the University of Minnesota introduces to its extended community the best of the children's book persona from the international world of children's books.

Kerlan Award Recap

The annual Kerlan Award Luncheon was held on Saturday, April 10, 1999 at the Holiday Inn Metrodome on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota campus. The event celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Kerlan Collection an the 25th Anniversary of the Kerlan Friends. Gray skies and falling rain could not dampen the spirits of the capacity crowd.

Because of the special anniversaries being commemorated, four awards were presented this year. Two retired professors who did much to support the collection over the years were recognized. Dr. Edward B. Stanford and Dr. Norine Odland received the award and responded with reminiscences of their experiences. Harold Kittleson, a personal friend of Irvin Kerlan, also spoke of the early days of the collection. An award was given posthumously to Lois Lenski, noted children's author and illustrator, who has been a generous donor to the collection. Her son, Steven Covey, accepted the award on her behalf.

The major speech of the day was given by the fourth winner, Eve Bunting, whose 100-plus books have delighted preschoolers, elementary students and young adults. Her address demonstrated the warmth and creativity found in her books. An autographing session with Eve Bunting brought a full and exciting day to a most satisfying close.

Coming Events

June 13-19: Dillman's Creative Workshops. Beth Peck, The Illustration Process. Dillman's Creative Arts Foundation is in its 22nd season of bringing nationally known artist instructors to the beautiful Wisconsin Northwoods and exotic off-premise locations. For more information call: 715-588-3143, e-mail: dillmans@newnorth.net, fax: 715-588-3110, website: www.dillmans.com

"Through slide presentations and examples of original sketches and illustrations, I will introduce the process one goes through to create an illustrated picture book. I enjoy sharing the thought process from concept to research, from thumbnail compositional studies through to the finished illustration. By example, I will show how I use reference material and my own photographs to create compositions. We will go through the process of making compositional studies and learning to conceive of pictures from different angles and viewpoints. I believe strongly in learning to draw from direct observations so we will do some of our compositional studies outdoors as well as work with a clothed model and props to learn to create quick compositional studies from different viewpoints. I will give demonstrations working in oils and pastels, which are the mediums I use most frequently in my book illustration. One must develop drawing skills and yet illustration styles vary from naive to very realistic. I want to help you understand the process of making a book in its entirety and facilitate your individual style. Bring your own reference material and sense of beauty to class. One evening there will be a show on pochade painting, which is small quick colored nature studies on location." -Beth Peck

Beth received her B.F.A. in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design.
