Children's Literature

The Children’s Literature program is a special feature of the English department at PLU. Students, regardless of major, who earn a grade of B or better in Children’s Literature (English 333) and in any two of its related courses (Writing for Children, Special Topics in Children’s Literature, and Fairy Tales and Fantasy) will receive a notation of special competence in Children's Literature on their transcripts.

This program is supported by a special research collection of children’s books housed in PLU’s Mortvedt Library; it is the second largest such collection in the Pacific Northwest. Changing exhibitions in the collection highlight individual authors or themes of special interest. Children’s films and other visual media related to children’s literature are also available through the library’s Media Services department.
