              <text>Children’s literature is a useful resource for transforming society for the better. In this study, I pay&#13;
attention to Stephen Alumenda’s ideological commitment to disadvantaged children. I undertake&#13;
a literary analysis of his works that focus on marginalised children in order to establish how&#13;
he puts forward a proposal for a new society. The study examines how Alumenda’s children’s&#13;
stories address disability and albinism. It critiques Alumenda’s approach, while appreciating his&#13;
commitment to marginalised individuals and groups.The study highlights his sensitivity towards&#13;
children living with disability and albinism. However, it questions his tendency of granting happy&#13;
endings to his children’s stories. Overall, the study appreciates Alumenda’s willingness and cour-&#13;
age to address neglected individuals and themes</text>
