“Apparently, instead of eating an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, all you have to do is buy a pair of slacks from Banana Republic.”<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As always, Minh at Bottom Shelf Books<\/a> has the skinny on what’s really<\/i> up with children’s literature — today is Disney v. Seinfeld… and it’s disturbing, let me tell you, how much Minnie Mouse and Julia Dreyfuss have in common.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, OH MY GOSH have my peeps moved into some exalted circles. First Jenn Robinson has gotten the label of “Expert”<\/a> emblazoned across her superhero outfit. She’s helping grow bookworms<\/a> all over the place.<\/p>\n


<\/a>And I hear Mitali is also part of the judging<\/a> panel for the 2008 Phyllis Naylor Working Writer Fellowship<\/a>, along with Christopher Paul Curtis and Sid Fleischman. Way to go, Mitali! If you’re at all interested in nominating a fellow writer for the fellowship, hop on over to the site<\/a> for information on how to apply — you only have until January 14, so hurry. It’s a tremendous gift to be able to share with a fellow writer.<\/p>\n

And CONGRATULATIONS are in order for illustrator Irisz Agocs of Artista Blog<\/a> who has just received the first copy of her first picture book illustration. This artist was listed in someone’s 7-Kicks ages<\/i> ago, and I loved her work (Picturebook Nerd Alert!) so much I’ve kind of kept up with her, even though her posts aren’t always in English. So, yay Ms. Agocs! <\/p>\n
