Happy Easter, folks!  Tis a bonny Easter Video Sunday . . . . not really.  One of these videos does show a bunny at one point, though.  Can YOU find it?  The answer is at the end of this post.

First up, my co-writer Jules Danielson was in town recently and managed to get herself on national television while here.  I’ve been in New York for 11 years and haven’t managed such a thing once.  So well done to her!  She’s the second person in this video to stuff their mouth full o’ Peeps.  It’ll make sense when you see it:

Technically this next video is an ad but you have no sense of that until you reach the end anyway. Plus it’s cute:

Weapons of Mass Instruction: A 1979 Ford Falcon Converted in a Tank Armored with 900 Free Books from Colossal on Vimeo.

Of course, as a librarian I want to know how those books were chosen and what the titles are that he hands to the kids. Curation! Curation! Curation! Thanks to Mike Lewis for the link.

I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but Nathan Hale, of the Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales series, has started his own YouTube series.  You may have seen his previous video about drawing war hats.  Well, video #2′s out and it’s about drawing everybody’s favorite character, The Hangman.  I love this format for doing videos.  Very nice for illustrators.  Take note, folks.

We’ve been saying for years that someone out there in network television land should interview the Newbery and Caldecott winners again. So PBS Newshour picked up the slack and did a great interview with Kwame Alexander. Of course, they make a rookie mistake right at the start by saying the Newbery is for “young adult literature” (does no one VET the news over there, PBS?) but I’m cutting them slack for doing this at all. Now about Mr. Santat . . .

Next up, Voldemort.  Because what is Easter without something that has NOTHING to do with Easter?

There’s an app out for the amazing book Lindbergh by Torben Kuhlmann.  And, as you might expect, it looks gorgeous.  Torben will be in town while I am in Austin so I am drowning my sorrows in this app.  *sigh*

And for our off-topic video, something appropriately Easterish:

So which video had the bunny?  If you said it was the Nathan Hale post, you’re correct!  Go eat yourself a chocolate.
