ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am grateful that Dr. Ian Wojcik-Andrews and Dr. Sheila M. Most helped me with my
thesis so much.
Thank you, Ian. I would never have completed my thesis without your help. You always
guide me with your rich knowledge, and your patience is the power that encourages me to
strive in the research.
Thank you, Sheila. You give me hope because I know you will always be there. You built
up my confidence and made me brave in your classes, and that will be the sweet memory of my
American life.
I appreciate that both of you led me toward the world of children's literature.
I would like to thank my family and friends, too. My family is always the power that
supports me. They made my dream of study abroad come true. I thank my friends, no matter
whether in Taiwan or the United States. I never feel lonely because of you.
I deeply appreciate all of you.

ABSTRACT
Formosa-Taiwan is a small island with a unique culture. Because of its blood
relationship with China, Taiwan inherits the traditional Chinese cultural features from mainland
China. Inside Taiwan, the indigenous cultures are going to fade, while the increasing number of
the children of foreign brides will play an important role in the future. On the other hand,
culture from Japan and the West keep influencing Taiwan. We mix all resources together and
hope to keep our culture growing in this rich land.
The thesis will focus on the development of local children's literature in Taiwan: the
importance, influence, and problems of foreign children's literature in Taiwan and how Taiwan
can create her own arts based on the knowledge from these foreign children's arts to solve the
present difficulty with children's books.
