Yesterday I was thrilled to find out that Maggie & Oliver made the Bankstreet College 2012 Best Children's Books of the Year list. Yippee! I'm also happy to see so many great books by friends and acquaintances on the list. Congrats to all!

Here are a few interior pieces of art. These are scans from the originals... they are printed in a lovely soft sepia color in the book:

JacketFlap tags:  book reviews, Shelf Awareness, Maggie and Oliver or a Bone of One's Own, The Horn Book Magazine, Add a tag

So, we are powerless yet again, after Saturday's Epic October Snowstorm. I'm posting from my town's municipal center. (Free wifi and Starbucks, yay!) No worries. Other than the heartbreak of seeing so many beautiful old trees destroyed, none landed on our house, fortunately. And, we have a generator and wood stove. Water and heat rock! (We also managed to polish off all the Halloween candy ourselves, since they cancelled trick or treating. Well-deserved chocolate, I say!)

I'm thrilled to be posting a few lovely reviews for Maggie & Oliver. One from last week's Shelf Awareness, (scroll down), and one in the November/December issue of The Horn Book Magazine! Here's a snippet:

"This is Victoriana with no steampunk shenanigans and no tongues in cheeks, just well-orchestrated, straightforward storytelling for newish readers– with a bonus of warm pencil drawings reminiscent of Lois Lenski."


Wow. (Lois Lenski!) Just wow. Thank you, Shelf Awareness and Horn Book!
