It contains numerous interpretative possibilities, all highly relevant to the study of children’s literature. Focusing on silence and silencing helps us unpack the multiple ways in which books for young readers function and how complex and varied — and sometimes paradoxical — children’s literature is as a field. The relationship between children’s literature and silence suggests an intriguing tension between voicing and silencing, between speech and the unspoken. While books tend to be considered a liberating and empowering force in children’s lives, they can also be implicated in a widespread and deeply rooted discourse of silence and silencing. The theme also highlights how books for young readers can both challenge and reinforce notions about which subjects are tabooed or censored, which adds further weight to the necessity of examining the silences and lacunae within children’s literature.Silence and Silencing in Children’s Literature addresses the multiple facets of silence and silencing, how silence is narrated, aetonormative silences, structural and societal silences and silencing, and trauma and traumatic silences.
