Video Sunday: The Lord of the Jello
Morning, folks. What’s that? Why, yes. Yes, I would like to watch this video about Nathan Hale’s newest GN The Underground Abductor. Thank you! Seems to me the man has lucked out in terms of timing too. With people rallying to put Ms. Tubman on the $20 bill, it is now vastly important to learn […]

And a happy Thursday to you all. It’s May 21st and that means another episode of Fuse #8 TV is up and running. As per usual I kick the whole kerschmozzle off with a new edition of “Reading (Too Much) Into Picture Books”. Though I had a recent request to tackle The Giving Tree, I couldn’t […]

What Are the Great Children’s Literature Writing Retreats?
This one’s for the writers, but could be of just as much use to those folks who want to be published authors and just haven’t gotten there yet. In my time as a roving children’s librarian I’ve spoken at two different but enchanting writing retreats. I should probably define my terms, though, so when I [...]
When Illustrators Surprise You
Brinton Turkle: Purveyor of Terror. For that statement to strike you funny you have to first be familiar with the collected works of a man that, I would argue, was the most successful Quaker author/illustrator in the business. Today I want to tackle the phenomenon of what happens when you discover a new book from [...]
