Bart Moeyaert: Sensual Appeal and Difficult Issues

If children’s literature is to take itself seriously, it will have to acknowledge that it’s part of culture and therefore has to be as broad as it can be. Developing a culture means you have to be able to show all four corners of the room and not only the middle, where the children’s play mat is. All the corners. The dark ones included. And the places under the table.
