From Blogging to Books: A Tour of Child/YA Lit Bloggers
The road to publication is not a straight line. It’s not even a single line. Sometimes it feels to me that there are as many ways to publish a book as there are books to publish. I started out as a children’s librarian. From there I started to blog. Then from blogging came some books. [...]
Video Sunday: Little Known Fact – Viola Swamp drinks at Starbucks
It seems to me that if Raina Telgemeier, Art Spiegelman, Roz Chast, Stephan Pastis, Mo Willems, Dave Roman, and other cartoonists who double as children’s book creators can have the chutzpah to participate in this video where they speak out against gun violence, the least we can do is to post it. Frequently. And everywhere. [...]
Review of the Day: Picture a Tree by Barbara Reid
Picture a Tree By Barbara Reid Albert Whitman & Company $16.99 ISBN: 978-0-8075-6526-1 Ages 3-6 On shelves now. If you weren’t a teacher or a librarian you wouldn’t necessarily be aware of how critically important tree units are to our school systems. They’re huge. Each and every year when I worked as a children’s librarian [...]
The Unreliable Narrator in the Picture Book Format

Folks, I’ll be stepping away from the desk/office/city/state for the next few days as I do a tiny little self-propelled book tour. In fact, if you happen to live in Chicago or Grand Rapids, MI or Kalamazoo then you are in luck. I’m nigh! Here are the appearances for the next few days: April 25th [...]
Fusenews: Mysterious Edges, Heroic Worlds
Well sir, it’s a heckuva week. Book stuff is happening out the wazoo, but for a moment I’d like to concentrate on what else is going on in the wider children’s literary world. What say we Fusenews it up a bit, eh? Of course there’s no way to begin today without a hat tip to [...]

Giant Dance Party By Betsy Bird Illustrated By Brandon Dorman Greenwillow (an imprint of Harper Collins) $17.99 ISBN: 978-0061960833 Ages 3-7 On shelves now. Gotcha! I’m just messing with you. No, I’m not going to actually review my book here. I’m not going to wax rhapsodic over the hidden meanings lurking behind the mysterious cupcake [...]
Video Sunday: Reading Rainbow fans are vast. They contain multitudes.
Admittedly I’ve been a bad blogger. How long has it been since I did a Video Sunday? Well, you can just bet that this one will be extra good to make up for it. To be perfectly frank, nonfiction book trailers don’t usually look as good as the one I’m about to show you. When [...]
