Reexamining the Issue of Authenticity in Picture Books.

Mo, Weimin; Shen, Wenju

Children's Literature in Education, v28 n2 p85-93 Jun 1997

Examines picture books portraying Asian societies as a means to discuss the criteria of authenticity (not simply nonstereotypes) in both the literature and artwork of picture books. Discusses authenticity and cultural acceptance in terms of both story selection and adaptation, authenticity and cultural conventions (in terms of value implications), and authenticity in artwork.
