Read a nice profile of Wild Thing author Maurice Sendak in the UK Independent.
Some good examples of recent children's books in translation can be found in the L.A. Times Word Play's "Going global."
As well as The New York Times article about reading workshop referenced in my piece here on classics, I've come across two other essays that eloquently make the case for student choice in elementary, middle and high school reading: Dane Peters's "Who Should Decide What Students Read?" in Education Week, and novelist Susan Straight's disparaging look at the Accelerated Reading program in The New York Times.
