Nonfiction or informational books for children are created in order to inform readers about the world they live in and to present facts or data through indexes, diagrams, tables of content, maps, pictures, sketches or photographs and texts that support children’s learning. They are characterized by scientific validity and artistic use of language, format, graphics and other material aspects; hence, it is vital that they encourage children’s curiosity. Additionally, the trending “fictionalizing” as an authors’ stylistic option is understandable considering that the information they want to share with children does not exist in a vacuum, but is comprised of events governed by a cause-and-effect relationship. Thus, contemporary writers draw on narrative elements and techniques they previously used in literary texts. After all, the interpretation of events, phenomena, achievements etc., all contain the element of subjectivity and for their construction some type of representation is necessary. Despite this, the genre of nonfiction books has not received the same amount of scholarly attention as pure fictional books within the field of children’s literature. This is not to say that there is an obvious gap in the study, since some recent publications on the topic have started to emerge. These new studies have addressed the critical potential (Sanders, 2018) and the aesthetic qualities of nonfiction (Grilli, 2020), verbal and visual strategies (Goga et al., 2021), hybridization of nonfiction (von Merveldt, 2018; Αγγελάκη, 2023), particular genres (Rybak, 2022), as well as the new special issue of Bookbird on nonfiction (edited by Aronson & Malilang, 2024). These works are merely the beginning of setting new directions in the study of nonfiction. Thus, we invite you to expand this emerging network of knowledge in the upcoming conference that touches on the issue of (re)thinking the borders in children’s nonfiction. Specifically, we invite papers related to the conference’s overall theme. Possible areas for investigation include but are not restricted to: 1. Negotiation of boundaries between fiction and nonfiction 2. Borders of theory – new methodological approaches 3. Representations of nonfiction children’s literature in works on the history of children’s literature 4. Nonfiction epitexts (such as reviews in journals and magazines) 5. Nonfiction peritexts (such as prefaces and afterwords) 6. Nonfiction goes international (awards, bookfairs, festivals) 7. Censorship or cultural adjustment in the translation of nonfiction for children 8. Space and memory within nonfiction – museums, galleries, and historical sites 9. Nonfiction books between art and economy 10. The role of the visual code in nonfiction (aesthetics, pictorial turn, etc.) 11. Authoriality in nonfiction 12. The role of the intended reader in nonfiction 13. Practising research on nonfiction 14. Nonfiction and creative writing
