Mr. Aquafortis and I will be celebrating ours rather belatedly, a few days later, with dinner and a concert&#8211;but what about the young readers and children&#8217;s lit enthusiasts in your life? What to do? Well, to us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cybils.com\/\">Cybils<\/a> folk, the answer seems obvious&#8211;the Cybil Award winners will be announced on Feburary 14th, so it&#8217;s a doubly exciting day. And Cybils Literacy Evangelist (and blog bud) Jen Robinson came up with a <a href=\"http:\/\/jkrbooks.typepad.com\/blog\/2011\/02\/the-cybils-winners-are-coming.html\">fabulous idea<\/a>&#8211;instead of giving corporate mass-produced stuff, why not give a book? It lasts longer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cybils.com\/2011\/01\/2010-finalists.html\">short lists<\/a> for ideas&#8211;and feel free to click through to Amazon from the Cybils page in order to buy, since each purchase via a Cybils affiliate link kicks a teeny bit of dough back toward purchasing prizes for the winning authors and illustrators. Everybody wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks the start of a new Toon Thursday series&#8230;it may seem a bit similar to Common Species of the Literary World, but&#8230;it&#8217;s just,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,61,77,10],"class_list":["post-1276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-af","tag-cybils-news","tag-toon-thursday","tag-views"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1276"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6425,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276\/revisions\/6425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
