HWOCL #2

Rather than post my own HMOCL this week, I turn to our feminine correspondent in the field. As you can see, Kirby Larson's at it again with her second official Hot Woman of Children's Literature announcement. There's some hot Newbery honoree praising fellow honoree action going on here. Today's lady: Jennifer Holm.

What I Learned:

"The hottest thing of all about Jennifer Holm is that she is planning to attend the ALA Newbery Awards banquet less than two weeks after delivering a child!"

Woah. Really? Jenni, honey, don't kill yourself. I mean, you're awesome for wanting to do that plan, but if you don't feel up to it, don't sweat it. We'll understand. Matt, did you know about this?

Jennifer Holm: Superwoman

Less Work for Me

I'm flattered. People have asked me in the past to come up with a list of the hottest kidlit women I know and I've been slow to do so. I did that Blue Rose Girls posting, but that was as far as I went. Fortunately someone has picked up the slack. Kirby Larson of Hattie Big Sky fame has established her own Hot Women of Children's Literature. Lady #1? You know her well. A very good choice too.

Send any and all recommendations you like Kirby's way.
