In emphasizing agency as “the new paradigm of childhood,” this article argues that these literary texts, as examples of narratives of empowerment, are crucial for the durability and relevance of youth literature in contemporary multicultural societies like Malaysia through their capacity to demonstrate how young people are and must be seen as active in the construction and determination of their own social lives, the lives of those around them, and the societies in which they live.","PeriodicalId":42208,"journal":{"name":"Bookbird-A Journal of International Childrens Literature","volume":"60 1","pages":"14 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41804378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A summary of Leo’s favorite books and his reactions to them were noted. Flexible and shared creation of OST brought therapeutic calming effects to Leo and secured his identity and self-efficacy.
