Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.

The Party I Was Too Lame To Attend
And Media Bistro scoops me again. This time it was a Kadir Nelson party at the Hyperion offices celebrating his Caldecott Honor for Moses. I wimped out. I didn't want to traipse a good 20 some blocks south in the cold weather, mostly because I've grown spoiled and crotchety in my old age. So here's Media Bistro's take on the par-tay instead. What I like? You can totally make out two, count 'em, two Hot Men of Children's Literature in one of the shots. How often does that happen? Ten points if you know who the two are. Here's a hint: One is Kadir Nelson.
Comming out of lurkdom to comment on Angus Killick from Hyperion so nice and definitely worthy of being included in the HMOCL pantheon as is Kadir Nelson.
ReplyDeleteThe art work for Kadir's newest book looked great.
Amy Sears
Very good! You caught the second HMOCL (as you can see by my sidebar, I already did him) in one of the pictures. Ten points is going out to Amy Sears.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you've got Brian Selznick as the first nicest guy in the world. Your blog helped me get in back in touch with my high school friend and he was the nicest guy back then, too.
ReplyDeleteDid you catch Brian on All Things Considered tonight?
