Professor of #kidlit Hello, I'm Dr. Daley! I'm an English professor with a specialization in children's literature and young-adult novels. Join me as I discuss children's literature and its impact on our lives. My areas of research and teaching are focused on children’s literature as it intersects with folktales, girlhood studies, and media. I am also the director of the Children’s literature program as well as the director of the National Center for the Study of Children’s Literature. I make videos on children's literature and more!
