Notable News!

This week, at the annual Midwinter Conference in Colorado, the American Library Association made its exciting announcement of the 2009 Youth Media Awards. I am so very honored to be on the list of ALA notable books with Buffalo Music! Many thanks to the 2009 Notable Children's Books Committee!

Also, there was a little write up in True West Magazine on the first week of January!

A Happy New Year

Today while wandering down a street in the neighborhood, I ran in to some of the cutest, most pathetic looking, little guys -- a llama, two donkeys, and two ponies, all lined up in a row on the sidewalk. Later, I found out that they were part of the annual Three Kings Day parade of Brooklyn...And this is why I love New York :)
