Stockpiling

PiBoIdMo: The Promise
Last year I participated in the kind of event I normally run from: PiBoIdMo (picture book idea month). The prospect of coming up with a new picture book idea every day for a 30-day month was, of course, horrifying. I … Continue reading
The Goat, the Hero, and the Yankees

All I Ever Hope To Say: Jeanne Walker Harvey Interview
Isn’t summer funny? I feel like I’m simultaneously racing at high speeds and getting nothing done. With apologies to the wonderful Jeanne Walker Harvey, I’m late in posting this interview. But I think you’ll all agree Jeanne is worth waiting … Continue reading

There’s Something About Ducks: Interview with Jane Kohuth and Jane Porter
