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.

Kirby Larson Interview

Let's take a closer look at one of our Newbery Honorees (Honorettas?, Honorikas?) for 2007. One Ms. Kirby Larson. Nice lady, that. Prone to multiple interviews as well, should you be willing to search deep enough for them amongst the reams of buried internet info out there.

One I found just the other day as I was looking for this image on Jaime Temairik's blog:

What can I say? I like-a the killer cupcakes. Cupcake-related paraphernalia gets a special slot on this blog (hint hint).

In any case, I found this interview and was pleased as punch. And then I turn around and Jen Robinson has linked to another one. So basically, anything and everything you ever wanted to know Kirby Larson-wise is now available. Go wild.
