The book examines the rise of independently published, niche-market picture books by amateur authors, highlighting their impact on American children's literature. It discusses how these works reflect and influence public perceptions of childhood and engage with ongoing cultural conflicts. By analyzing the creative and material aspects of these narratives, the author reveals the intricate relationship between print culture, children's reading habits, and consumer capitalism in shaping contemporary literature for young audiences.
