1 10 Great Books That All Children Should Read Belle Y. Alderman , 2015 single work essay
— Appears in: The Conversation , 21 December 2015;

'The books we remember strongly as adults are often the ones we read as children. Not only do we remember particular books, but the emotions we experienced.

Children’s books are reread and remembered over a lifetime, and many authors believe their best writing is for children.

Rereading favourites is a good thing. With each rereading, deeper meanings emerge and understanding becomes richer.' (Introduction)

1 The Lu Rees Archives of Australian Children's Literature Belle Y. Alderman , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Papers : Explorations into Children's Literature , vol. 22 no. 1 2012; (p. 120-132) The ACT Branch of The Children’s Book Council of Australia established the Lu Rees Archives of Australian Children’s Literature in 1974. Since 1980, it has been housed and supported by the University of Canberra and all Branches of The Children’s Book Council of Australia. The Archive’s journey from idea to a nationally significant collection is traced. Individuals who have contributed to its development are identified. Major events, which have changed its trajectory, are discussed. This article demonstrates throughout how the Archives continuously reviews, renews and enhances its capacity to provide resources for the study and research of Australian children’s authors and illustrators, including both the literature and the historical and cultural context in which it was created (Author abstract).
