Given the vital role literary mothers play in books for young readers, it is remarkable how little scholarly attention has been paid to the representation of mothers outside of fairy tales and beyond studies of gender stereotypes. This collection of thirteen essays begins to fill a critical gap by bringing together a range of theoretical perspectives by a rich mix of senior scholars and new voices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The range of critical approaches in this volume will provide multiple inroads for scholars to investigate richer readings of mothers in children's and young adult literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Rowe Fraustino \u003c\/b\u003eedits the journal \u003ci\u003eChildren's Literature \u003c\/i\u003eand directs the graduate programs in children's literature at Hollins University. \u003cb\u003eKaren Coats \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of English at Illinois State University.
