This chapter draws on an ongoing transnational research study that positions young people as producers of their own media content, primarily as a platform for disrupting problematic repre sen ta tions of refugees and newcomers. The impetus for this proj ect comes from recognition that despite the ubiquity of lit er a ture for children in schools and homes, the industry is dominated by adult authors and illustrators with relatively few opportunities for young people to contribute to the creation of narratives that reflect their unique lived realities, imaginings, and knowledges (exceptions include initiatives such as the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards1). Currently, the majority of books for young readers in the Global North still reflect dominant white, middle-class perspectives, although there are some contributions that incorporate storylines which include the perspectives of refugees and mi grants, people of color, Indigenous Peoples, gender and sexual minorities, and people with disabilities. In the US context, the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, a national book examination body, tracks annually the number of books by or about minority groups. In 2018, for example, just 12 percent of all books received were either by or about Latinx peoples (Cooperative Children’s Book Center, 2019).
