Sunny school-yard action, frisky text and heaps of humorous details propel us through bliss, boastfulness, betrayal and back again in this spirited tale of friendship lost and found.

HOTLINE VOICES: An unidentified JOMB listener/author/illustrator recommends Kiss Good Night (by Amy Hest) and Dig Dig Digging (by Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe).
We’d love to hear your thoughts on a favourite children’s book. Leave us a voice message on our JOMB listener hotline, +1-206-350-6487.
To those of you celebrating Yom Kippur, G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
My thought on all this politics and financial crisis is that we can make a difference. We MUST make a difference!
What can we do right now to ensure that the youth and children of now are smart enough and prepared enough and willing enough to care about this country like we do and to run it effectively?
Education is the key to our survival. Look around you; look at the average kid walking down the street. Is that who you want running our country in 40 years? Would they even care enough to want to?
By putting more of a focus on the education of this and the next generations we can ensure that our country will be worth the respect of those around us and that we won't have to worry about the next big crisis.
I think that Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump have the right idea. In WHY WE WANT YOU TO BE RICH
, they talk a lot about financial education. It is crucial to not only teach kids the basics, but to also teach them about the wonders of respect and accomplishment and self-worth. By giving them a financial education, we can increase the chances of them being successfully independent. Part of that education needs to be the analysis of situations like what we face now in the financial sector. I once heard someone say that Wall Street didn't affect them because they owned no stock. I wonder what they are thinking now.
Kids are leaving schools without the basic skills to do simple math or even to know how to read in many cases. I've seen this. It is frightening.
Is it up to government to fix our education problems? Isn't it up to the people? This is no time for pointing fingers and saying "you did it." It is a time to come together and find a solution to the problem. Don't like the schools your kids go to? Home school, give them the level of education you think they require, but be sure you include the things that are important. WE have to make certain that we all begin and master the basic skills before moving on to the "fun" stuff.
Where is the support for our educators. I do believe that a lot of the problem with education lies with the teachers. It is not their fault! But they are tired. They are overworked, they are underpaid, and they are seriously underappreciated. What incentive do they have to even care? Now, don't get me wrong, they chose their career and they had to know going in that it would have its down side, but overpopulated classrooms, lack of financial support for curriculum materials and basic tools? Was this part of the deal? When was the last time you thanked your child's teacher for their efforts. How many teachers actually feel like anyone cares?
Well, I care. I don't have children, but I am educated enough to know that if we, as a people, don't do something to support education in this country, we are all in a lot of trouble, now, and in the future!

Cluttered with comedy, melodrama and earthy, Looney-Toonesque artwork, this brilliant guide to social success is as hilarious as it is helpful.
(…er…actually….maybe more hilarious than helpful, as we now hear our girls screaming at each other “DO UNTO OTTERS, REMEMBER, DO UNTO OTTERS!!!!!”)

HOTLINE VOICES: Michelle Mitchell from Scribbit: Motherhood in Alaska shares her thoughts about The Little Golden Book Anthologies.
When Jane Vejjajiva won the S.E.A. Write Award for The Happiness of Kati, it was quite a bit as though J.K. Rowling had won the Man Booker Prize for Harry Potter. This is a highly prestigious award given for extraordinary literature written in Southeast Asia, and it isn’t usually bestowed upon a children’s book.
And yet this isn’t a book that is read exclusively by children. I received it as a Christmas gift from my good friend Yui, who is younger than I am but is certainly no longer a child. We both count it as one of our favorite books–and here are some reasons why.
From the opening sentences of this book, Kati’s life is described simply and yet in wonderful detail. Her grandparents, her school, her chores, her meals are all real to the reader well before the first twenty pages have been devoured. And yet, a sadness is slowly delineated in every chapter subheading–Kati’s absent mother takes on a phantom’s shape long before Kati is taken to be with her.
It is here that this book blossoms into a strength and beauty rarely found in a children’s novel. Kati’s time with her mother is brief, but their relationship has depth, sweetness, and a life of its own. The importance of family within Thai culture is made beautifully clear, and the respect given to a child’s decision offers an ethical guideline without moralizing.
Best of all–for me at least–is the masterful depiction of each person in this story. With a minimum of description, Jane Vejjajiva makes every one of her characters come to life, fully equipped to live on in the imaginations of those who savor this book.
If you agree–or perhaps disagree–please let us hear your comments before our final discussion next week.
A gallery in Manchester, England held an exhibition of art work by Lauren Child. Wouldn't I love to see this closer to home!

I recently discovered a web site called The Quickest Blog Book Tour Guide Ever and from that I joined a really cool Yahoo group (Blog Book Tours) and they have made an huge difference in the way I Blog. Now, as I understand it (I've never researched the history of Blogs) a Blog is something of a personal journal. Okay, I get that. Journaling is very good for the creative spirit. It helps to clear the mind and get the creative juices flowing. However, like everything else, there are, and should be, exceptions to how much personal information you put up on your Blog. After all, the entire WORLD has access to this information. Do you really want the whole world to know when you have "those kinds of" cramps? I think not. Especially if your Blog in intended for use in a professional capacity. I have been searching for great Blogs in the publishing/writing industry. I have run across a few, certainly not bad ones. If I like a Blog I add it to my new Blog Roll. I think this is a clever way to network and cross promote. You Roll me and I'll Roll you kinda deal. (What is a Blog Roll?)One of the Blogs I liketo read on a regular basis is A Newbie's Guide to Publishing by J.A. Konrath. Joe is a pretty out there guy and he speaks his mind no matter what. Joe also has a very powerful personality, but when he posts on his Blog, his words mean something. They offer information, usually in a very entertaining way, and they are relevant to what he is trying to accomplish. Joe offers information to writers. Period. No exclusions, there is information for every level of writer, and he doesn't candy coat. It's a great Blog. So why is it that I keep running across Author Blogs that are filled with extremely personal info, ranging from bad days to why they are mad at their husbands? Is this relevant to what they are doing? Okay, let's analyze. Are they personal Blogs or professional Author/Business Blogs? What is the difference? If you have a Blog and it has your Book cover, your author/business name, and all the other things that you use to promote your books, it is a professional Blog. If the Blog title indicates that this is a rant Blog and you are using it to speak your mind and let the world know what you think about every little thing, then consider it personal. I strongly discourage you from combining the two. Why you ask? Simple. Personal preference. If you are Jewish and you are angry about something that the Catholic church has done to a friend and you vent your disgust of the church, you are alienating every single Catholic reader who might have read your cozy mystery that has nothing to do with religion. If you are homophobic and you complain about gays kissing in public, you will alienate every single gay person who loves to read fantasy novels just like yours! If you saw a mother breast feeding in the mall and this turned your stomach and you posted that on your Blog, you have just turned a away a HUGE readership of mothers who hoard romance novels just like yours because you are an insensitive dork! Are you seeing where I am going with this? If your Blog is professional, keep it that way. Talk about why you write, how you write, what you can't write and why. Talk about the books you've read, the books you want to read. Talk about the festivals and conferences you have attended. Talk about the authors you have met and share your positive thoughts and views on the various aspects of society that relate to your profession. I'm not telling you to be Pollyanna, but I am suggesting that you not be the type of person who no one wants to know or care about. Readers are sensitive and they deserve to be treated with respect. Pushing your angst off onto them isn't the best way to do that. Do you have a good Blog? Share your link with us and if I like it, I'll add it to my Blog Roll. Want a FREE Blog critique? I've got an opinion on EVERYTHING. But remember, if you ask, I'll tell you and you can't be mad at me if you don't like what I say. Blog Book Tour August Challenge #10

Spare, natural dialogue, carefully chosen details and keenly expressive illustrations keep us alternately giggling and cringing at the delicate shifts of sentiment from uncertainty and admiration through flattery, imitation, loss of self and then frustration in this celebration of selfhood found.

You can help make a dream come true today by joining the effort to provide schooling and stability for autistic children in China. To learn more click here.

Think you're having a bad day? Embrace what life has to offer you and read the last post of a brave U.S. soldier who was killed in action on January 3, 2008. It's funny, insightful, and plain beautiful. May God be with him and his loved ones.
Unless you have a heart of lead, you're gonna need some tissues.
Thank you, Sara Lewis Holmes for sharing this moving post.
