A. Jesús Moya-Guijarro, "A Multimodal Approach to Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Children’s Picture Books "
English | ISBN: 0367703599 | 2021 | 288 pages | PDF | 57 MB

This collection offers a thorough treatment of the ways in which the verbal and visual semiotic modes interrelate toward promoting gender equality and social inclusion in children’s picture books.
