Platinum Sponsor Scholastic notes key trends for kids’ lit for 2017

December 27, 2016 by Valarie Budayr

 

Scholastic

Goosebumps returns…

Teaching kindness…

“Laugh out loud” books…

Research reads…

Reinvented fairy tales…

…What do they all have in common? According to the Scholastic Reading Club editorial directors, they are all key trends for kids’ lit for 2017.

Scholastic was founded in 1920 as a single classroom magazine. Today, Scholastic books and educational materials are in tens of thousands of schools and tens of millions of homes worldwide, helping to Open a World of Possible for children across the globe. The mission of Scholastic is to encourage the intellectual and personal growth of all children, beginning with literacy. Scholastic will also be helping with social media efforts surrounding this event and working to get the MCBD the message out. We will have more details and images in the days to follow, but in the meantime we simply wanted to share the good news. Be sure and connect with Scholastic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and multiple other social media outlets.

Today, we announced Scholastic’s “big hit” predictions for the children’s bookshelves in 2017.
