1 Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership : Raising the Status of Children’s Voices in Ireland and Australia Orla Kenny , Jo Holmwood , Victoria Ryle , Simon Spain , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Bookbird , vol. 55 no. 2 2017; (p. 60-63) 'Why should any society listen to children? How can we, as adults, support children’s individuality and their creative expression? How can we make space for children as active cultural agents within their communities and on a global level? In the words of IBBY’s founder, Jella Lepman, “Let us set this upside down world right again by starting with the children. They will show the grown-ups the way to go” (qtd. in Said). In its twenty-year history, Kids’ Own Publishing has turned the publishing paradigm upside-down to give a platform for children’s voices in two countries.' (Introduction)
