The subject of children’s literature is a great love of mine, and really what has driven me to pursue this degree and role of TL.  I’ve spent many years selecting and enjoying literature for kids, as a teacher and parent – from babies through to adolescents. Through accessing quality online and social networked sites, such as the CBCA Qld website https://qld.cbca.org.au/ , the National Library of NZ website & blogs https://natlib.govt.nz/ , children’s book blogs such as Megan Daley’s  https://childrensbooksdaily.com/blog/  and Lee & Low’s blog on race, diversity, education and children’s books https://blog.leeandlow.com/  , I’ve been  increasing my professional and personal knowledge of children’s literature.  Such a wonderful world of literature out there with multiple avenues for access and networking!
