DESCRIPTION:Why have theorists of childhood contended that young children 
 have “no voice”? There are good reasons for making this argument\, I a
 llow\, but also good reasons for resisting it. In this talk\, I make the c
 ase for embracing what I hope is a non-naïve way of talking about childre
 n’s voices\, one that attends to the genuinely vexing problems these the
 orists raise. I then test out this theory by applying it to picture books 
 that young children helped to create\, such as Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sen
 dak’s Somebody Else’s Nut Tree and Other Tales From Children (1958) an
 d the Cheltenham Elementary School Kindergarten’s We Are All Alike\, We 
 Are All Different (1991).\n\n*Marah Gubar* is Associate Professor of Engli
 sh and Director of the Children’s Literature Program at the University o
 f Pittsburgh. She is the author of Artful Dodgers: Reconceiving the Golden
  Age of Children’s Literature (Oxford University Press\, 2009). She is c
 urrently working on a second book entitled Acting Up: Children\, Children
 ’s Literature\, and the Case for Childhood Studies.\n
