Selections from the Children's Literature Collection, Special Collections Library

Presented by the Ann Arbor District Library and the Special Collections Library, this exhibit explains and illustrates the evolution of multicultural children's literature from its origins in the folklore and folktales of a given people through the contemporary literature of each culture.

The exhibit is on display at the Ann Arbor District Library (Downtown).

Ardis was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by Carl and Elenndea Proffer in 1971. The Proffers had two goals for their publishing house. The first was to publish in Russian the "lost library" of twentieth-century Russian literature that had been censored and removed from Soviet libraries, including works by Osip Mandelstam, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Vladimir Nabokov. The second was to bring translations of contemporary writers working in the Soviet Union to American scholars and the West.

Conversation with noted author, Fr. Uwem Akpan, a Nigerian priest whose book of short stories, Say You're One of Them, is a 2009 Oprah Book Club selection. Akpan received his MFA from the University of Michigan in 2006 and is a former Career-in-the-Making Fellow at the U-M Institute for the Humanities. Each story in this jubilantly acclaimed collection pays testament to the wisdom and resilience of children, even in the face of the most agonizing circumstances.
