What is the term for literature for older kids? At what point is it YA? it seems to me that if this was truly Children's Lit you could have a whole different list (which I envision for 2009-10!) Meanwhile, how about Young in the Word? I Like Keith's last suggestion but would drop "Little". And a Child Shall Read Them. I’m excited about these, RM.

For the mag series....or "Children's Lit for a Growing Faith" or "Books for Children of God (of All Ages and Stages of Faith)" or??? I do think this sounds like fun - work yes but creative-juice flowing stuff. I'll want to read the books!

Like Kelley, I think there are a number of boy-pleasers here. Another possibility would be something from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. I love “the Word within the words,” myself.

What about a name like Children's Lit for a Grown Up Faith -- a little awkward, yes. But what you talking about here is something that most grown ups would covet. It's the same notion expressed when people tell me that "the children's sermon" does it for them. So proud of you, amazing RM. Love this list.

It has short stories from a bunch of different guy authors, written for boys to enjoy. The authors featured also tend to write for "boys" (although, of course, girls enjoy the books too). An author I really enjoy is Chris Crutcher- he appeals to boys as well. Have you ever read “Guys Write For Guys Read” it is edited by Jon Scieszka.

I would love to do something like this. I adore children's lit and think it often is highly underrated! And it is a good list - I've read most of it but there are some I may have to go find now. Hmmm...for a title I keep thinking along the lines of : Small Size, Big Thoughts or something like that. Wow! I would love to do something like this.
