This month’s column comes from Khalid Koser, author of International Migration: A Very Short Introduction. Khalid is an expert on international migration, refugees and internal displacement. A former policy advisor on global migration issues, he is also deputy director of the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement.
OUP: Why has international migration become an issue of such intense public and political scrutiny? (more…)
This is my 100th post! Wow! When I started, I wasn't sure if I had enough to say to keep this blog going (but I see that I've proven myself wrong). I can't seem to stop writing.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading and commenting... blogging has been a fantastic experience and far more interactive than I could have ever imagined. It's still amazing to me that people who haven't met me are interested in what I have to say.
If you're just joining Wizards Wireless, here are my introductory posts which explain what this blog is about. Short answer: children's books, comic strips and Harry Potter. For longer answers, see these posts:
I've been delighted with the responses I've gotten to this blog (and how many people seem to be reading it!) It's been an eclectic mixture of people looking for books for babies, older fiction, Harry Potterisms, etc. I've been trying to vary the subjects as much as possible (i.e. not too many Harry Potter posts, a range of age levels on the books I'm reviewing, etc.)
Please keep the feedback coming... it's fantastic... and it gives me an idea of what age range(s)/interests to write reviews for.
There are experienced children's librarians reading this site (wohoo!!!) as well as people who are brand new to children's books. All of this is a rather round-about way to say some that some of my posts may be rather introductory for those who are new to it. If you're an old hand, go ahead and skip the next post on the ALSC awards.
Dear Alicia
your illustrations are *lovely*!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much Cécile!! :o)
I have to say that the Baby Me book is adore!!!! OH I love it and can't wait to get my hands on a copy! It is deliciously soft and sweet. I am hoping to give these out to a couple of friends with new babies. I know that they will adore the sweet illustrations. I am so glad that PBJ is back and doing what you all do so very well. I was so disappointed when it ended the first time, but trust me, I know how it is when you just need a break and all. You all have been such a source of encouragement and inspiration.
Keep up the wonderful work.
Hugs and thanks for stopping by.
P.S. Lysan will come and get your monsters, spiders, and nasty neighbors for free he he he!
