Hello World,
A happy Fall 2014 semester to all.
Time always seems to fly
by when you are having fun, or so they say. I hope that everyone is having a
great start to their semester.
My name is Cristina Rivera and I am both delighted and
honored to be a new contributor to the NCSCL blog during my time at SDSU. I have escaped the forty-hour-a-week working
world and am currently beginning my MA in English Literature emphasizing in Children’s
Literature.
My love of books started when I was still in diapers and I
as I grew I was not only fascinated by the stories themselves but also by their
power to allow my imagination to take me into a whole new world. Therefore my academic interests include how
children stories can be used to enlighten or motivate children to be creative
and comfortable with their imagination. However, as well as the amazing NCSCL
bloggers before me, I also find enjoyment in many aspects of Children’s Literature
from analyzing it to reading it.
My mission for this Blog is to highlight new information
regarding Children’s Literature but also to stir up some fond childhood
memories that exist in stories we grew up loving. And of course I am more than
delighted to bring you the latest exciting news and announcements from the
great NCSCL department of SDSU.
If you haven't done so already, please follow us on Twitter, @NCSChildLit, for daily facts, fun tidbits, memorable quotes, upcoming events, and things that sound fun regarding kid books or authors.
