Announcement

Kansas State University's English Department is pleased to announce its new Program in Children's Literature, in which M.A. students study children's and young adult literature. We welcome people who want to pursue children's literature at the graduate level, elementary and secondary teachers seeking professional development, and anyone who realizes—as we do—that it is fun to take children's literature seriously.
