Last night I saw the premiere of a new film that celebrates the world of children's literature. "Library of the Early Mind: a grown-up look at the art of children's literature" was produced as a labor of love, pared down from forty-five hours of interviews with authors, illustrators, librarians, editors and dignitaries in the field. Take a look at the web site and see if you might be able to attend any of the 70 screenings that will be held around the world. You might also want to check back with the web site later, since the film producers also hope to make some of the forty plus hours of interviews that did NOT make it into the film available on the web. Imagine an hour interview with the hilarious Daniel Handler, AKA Lemony Snicket, or spending time with any of the creative and productive Pinkney family (authors, illustrators, editors, all!)
