Hey all! Before I dive into the oddities of the world in which we live, I just wanted to give a bit of a shout out to two distinct groups that allowed me to sprawl my librarian self all over their respective gatherings. First up, credit and love to Nancy Castaldo and all the folks who made this weekend’s Eastern NY SCBWI Regional Conference the success that it was. I’m mighty appreciative that I was able to offer the dessert keynote on Saturday. Moreover, thanks to everyone who came out to see my censorship panel on Saturday at the Brooklyn Book Festival with David Levithan, Francesca Lia Block, and Lauren Myracle. It’s always nice to moderate something that hardly needs any moderation at all. Extra thanks to anyone who stayed around for my picture book reading later. David Maybury I be looking at you.
And now, because the weekend was so darned exciting, I’m going to do some super quickie round-ups of the recent news.
Don’t mind if I do!
- I have dealt with difficult reference desk requests in the past, but Benji’s story on dealing with a student looking for Effie? That takes the cake. Thanks to 100 Scope Notes for the link.
- Though it falls squarely into the Couldn’t Be Published in America category of European picture books, Sergio Ruzzier’s remarkable The Birds is WELL worth reading through today. And not just because I like the name.
- Ever been curious about the history of children’s theater in New York City? Well, you lucky ducks, I just found a post that’s gonna make your day.
- Confused as to where exactly I work and what exactly I work for? My job has gotten a bit more complicated since I became part of BookOps. This interview with my colleagues by Booklist should clear up any and all confusion, though. At least I hope it does.
- Take one look at this image and tell me what you think it is:
If you said it was an Anne-of-Green-Gables-inspired-wedding-shoot you would be correct. Sadly it wasn’t a real wedding, but you can tell it’ll serve as inspiration to a lot of folks.
- Hooray! The good Elizabeth Bluemle has collected The Stars Thus Far for 2013 and they’re a doozy. A bunch of five stars are up, but not a single six star book has appeared so far this year. Whodathunkit?
- Looks like we have a bookless library on our hands. Now the only question is whether or not we’ll be seeing the community clamoring for print or not. Not so sure I agree with the statement that “it will take more than 100 years before all libraries are paperless” (so that’s inevitable, eh whot?) but we can all watch this site with some interest.
Yup. That’s gonna be the walls of my house someday. Though the books will undoubtedly be thinner.
Thanks to Aunt Judy for the link!
Morning, folks. Bird here. Seems this book I’ve written with fellow bloggers Peter Sieruta of Collecting Children’s Books and Jules Danielson of Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast is in the last stages of completion. Fun With Copyedits is the name of the game this week, which means that my blogging may suffer a tad here and there. Mea culpa. I give you a bright and shiny blog posts to make it up to you. Eat it in good health.
- First off, April’s only here and that can only mean one thing. There’s a call for new spine poetry. Do you have what it takes to stack books in a coherent and literary manner? Well, do you? Punk?
I love Cracked online but honestly sometimes their headlines tip a little too far into the realm of the hyperbole. Consider the following: 5 literary classics that put x-rated movies to shame. It’s actually not inaccurate to say that of numbers one through three, but by the time you get to number five (Where’s Waldo) it’s stretching it a tad. Then again, the naked clown on the pogo stick isn’t exactly normal . . .
- In case you missed it, Marjorie Ingall alerted me to the children’s literature reference name dropped by Bob Balaban on a recent episode of Girls. Sorry I missed this one. I’ve been too busy catching up on episodes of Once Upon a Time which is admittedly corny, but weirdly similar to LOST before the show went haywire. Hence the fix.
- And what will YOU be doing on April 2nd of this year? Celebrating International Children’s Book Day, I certainly hope. Seriously, are you going to let this Ashley Bryan poster go to waste? For shame!
- Speaking of worldwide travels, care to attend an Irish children’s literary conference? Would I kid? Observe:
“We are delighted to announce that the CBI 2013 Conference Rebels and Rulebreakers is now open for booking! We’re really looking forward to a weekend with some of the most exciting names in writing, illustration, publishing and criticism in the fabulous surroundings of Lighthouse cinema on May 18th and 19th. Click here for the booking form or call CBI on 01 8727475 to secure your place. Remember the conference is open to everyone with an interest in children’s books so tell your friends! We’ve started counting down to the conference weekend with blog features on Sarah Ardizzone, Sarah Crossan and Colmán Ó Raghallaigh.”
- Though she was by no means the first children’s librarian in the country, NYPL’s own Anne Carroll Moore was a force to be reckoned with, back in the day. Now there’s a picture book bio of her coming out called Miss Moore Thought Otherwise by Jan Pinborough. A Women’s History Month series celebrates the book and Ms. Pinborough discusses why she wrote it in the first place. Thanks to Lisa Taylor for the link.
As my recent review of the Matilda musical will attest, I’m a sucker for stage adaptations of children’s books. So how completely and utterly delightful does this version of Owl Moon look to you? Picture book adaptations are always difficult, whether it’s to the stage or the screen. Dance is honestly the only way to go sometimes. Consider this post your required reading of the day.
Hey! In all the flutter and kerfuffle surrounding the ALA Youth Media Awards it’s mighty easy to forget about the 2013 Notable Children’s Books list that was announced at the end of February. Nice to see my beloved Zombie Makers getting some love.

Oh good. Something new to desire. I was running low. It seems that a certain Charlotte Olympia has taken it upon herself to create a fairytale line of shoes.
If you happen to purchase that $985 froggy pump for me, I honestly won’t be embarrassed by the largess of your generosity. Scout’s honor. You know where to reach me. Many many thanks to Marjorie Ingall for the link.
These have been around for a while, but I still think they’re incredibly amazing and wanted to share with anyone who hasn’t seen them yet.
These posters are actually the words from the book, word for word, displayed in the image. They are created by Postertext.com. According to their own website:
Hang your favorite book on the wall with the book’s text, arranged to depict a memorable scene from the book!
My teenaged son walked into the room while I was writing this and was shocked! He got so excited as he perused the various offerings, saying, “I’ve read that book and that one. There’s Moby Dick, my favorite.”
There is a multitude of book titles available and they continually work on more. Here’s but a small sampling:
Thank you for the shout-out, Betsy!
I just wanted to add that my unpublishable-in-the-US book will be permanently downloadable for free.
I’m so generous!
Thanks for the link!

So it IS ok to color-coordinate books! If you want your bookshelf to look like that, you know where to turn
*shudder* The horror . . . . the horror . . .
