1. See the Signs

If you were designing a book cover, how would you incorporate the title? Using a sign is one technique to join the two together.

The first two covers give the reader the sense that the character is sending them a message. Holding a sign like a person out of work or hitchhiker coveys the feeling of desperation.

Road signs pop up now and then on children's book covers. The author's name in sky writing is a nice addition.

Even hungry giants have something to say in writing.

Okay, this cat isn't holding the sign, but it's still pretty cute.

3. The Edge of the Forest

The March edition of The Edge of the Forest is out and I have to say that the interviews and articles for this month are probably the best yet.

Indefatigable Kelly has a write up of Readergirlz.

Pam MotherReader Coughlan has an insightful and inspiring article about what it takes to become a B-List Blogger and member of this terrific community of Kitlitospherians.

Liz Burns's interview with author Kirby Larson is outstanding.

Adrienne Furness explores the expanding presence of Sock Monkeys in children's books.

Allie has one of her thoughtful and fascinating interviews, this time with author Jenny Han.

Kim Winters describes the Day in the Life of Laura Ruby.

Interesting reviews, What's in the Backpack and Sherry Early's Kid Picks of homeschoolers plus a podcast with Daniel Pinkwater...

Bravi, team!
