Press Release Fun: Nominate a Literary Landmark
From our good fellow in the field, Rocco Staino: Hello, As chair of the ALA/CBC committee I am working with United for Libraries and the Children’s Book Council on an initiative for Children’s Book Week.

Walking and Talking with . . . Jenni Holm!

The 9th Annual Carle Honors – 2014
Traditionally I tend to attend the Carle Honors secretly pregnant. I’m not sure why this is but at least twice I have walked about, discretely refusing any and all alcoholic beverages.

Fusenews: “Red Nine doth here stand by”
Me stuff. You have been warned. So the first thing to know today is that this coming Saturday I’ll be speaking at the Eric Carle Museum about Wild Things: Acts of Mischief in Children’s Literature. It will prove to be an amusing talk and if you live in the area I’d desperately love it if [...]
Historical Accuracy in Illustration: Shifting Standards or Stubborn Certainties?
There’s been a lot of talk about accuracy in children’s nonfiction recently (which is just a fancy way of saying that there’s been a lot of talk on this particular blog). Everything from invented dialogue to series that are nonfiction-ish. One element we haven’t discussed in any way, shape, or form though is the notion [...]
