We invite you to submit contributions to the 7th issue of Paidia and Literature, titled “Influences/currents. Rivers and Other Waters in Children's and Young Adult Literature.”
The river, as a symbol of water, has great imaginative power, serving both as a literary motif and an educational element. In the context of children's and young adult literature, it can serve various functions – from a place of adventure, to a space for reflection on nature, to a metaphor for emotions or a symbol of transformation. Especially today, the river, representing the element of water, plays a crucial role in shaping the environmental and climate awareness of young readers.

The aim of this issue is to engage in an aquacritical reflection on the presence of rivers and other waters in children's and young adult literature. We wish to draw attention to the diversity of ways rivers are portrayed, their role in shaping the imagination of young readers, and their significance in the process of education, particularly regarding climate and the environment.

We are accepting articles until April 30, 2025.
