Children's literature is often defined through audience, so what happens when children are drawn to and claim genres not built expressly \"for\" them? To what extent do canonical formations tend to overwrite or obscure less visible efforts to create and promote material for the young? These are the driving questions of \u003ci\u003eAlt Kid Lit: What Children's Literature Might Be. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors to the volume offer theoretical meditations on the category of children's and young adult literature as well as case studies of materials that complicate our understanding of such. Chapters attend to a diverse array of subjects including the \"non-places\" of children's literature; child mediums; Black theater for children; children's interpretive drawings; fanfiction; Latinx, Indigenous, and silkpunk speculative fiction; environmental zines; shōnen anime; Jim Henson's \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Crystal\u003c\/i\u003e; South Asian television; and \"emergency children's literature.\" The book also features interviews with two experimental writers about genre and alt-publishing and a roundtable conversation on video games and children's digital engagements. Building on diverse approaches including queer theory and postcolonial studies, \u003ci\u003eAlt Kid Lit \u003c\/i\u003eshines light on materials, methodologies, and epistemologies that are sometimes underacknowledged in the field of children's and young adult literature studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth B.
