newsJuly 1, 2010 Lovers LockMy friends Ryan and Jenn met at the book launch for Grumpy Bird a couple of years ago. I still think it’s one of the best things about the launch. Check out Ryan’s little story about how he and Jenn met. It’s good! May 31, 2010 Blue Spruce WinnerI can’t believe I’ve been too busy to report this! Boo Hoo Bird WON THE BLUE SPRUCE AWARD for 2010!!!!!!!! I was as surprised as the next person. Here’s a link to the list of winners 2002 to the present. And here’s a link to all the winners from the Forest of Reading program. April 7, 2010 Taina Langevin Profiled meHere is a really nice little interview done by Taina Langevin. Her questions were thoughtful and fun to answer. I think you should go and check out her blog — it’s fairly new but she has some good stuff on it. Definitely a blog to keep an eye on. March 23, 2010 Brampton Guardian articlesI recently did a couple of library events in Brampton for March Break. The events were both well attended and saw lots of kids hanging out afterwords to talk with me and get autographs. I enjoy signing autographs for kids, they can really make you feel like a million bucks sometimes. Good for the ol’ ego! The local newspaper gave me some excellent coverage with two articles. You can read the first here. And the second one here. My favourite part is that the term authorstrator seems to be catching on when people talk about me. Ha! February 19, 2010 Papertrails interviewThis is fun: I was featured on the delightful Papertrails Family Blog. The kids asked some good questions and I had fun answering. Go take a look! And if you’ve got the time take a read through some other entries on their site — they’re all fun! December 17, 2009 Ash Books Best for 2009Ash Books Book Community has just released their list of Best Books for 2009 (note that it’s not best books from 2009). Boo Hoo Bird made the list. How nice! And extra nice to be in the esteemed company of one EH Shepard. Yes sir, I like it. December 11, 2009 Best Picture Books of the DecadeLibrary Lady has posted her list of the Best Picture Books of the Decade. I was very happy to see Grumpy Bird on her list. Thanks Library Lady! You’re very kind. Check out her other recent blog entries, she’s doing lists of other “best of the decade” books (chapter books, novels, etc…). December 9, 2009 Connecticut Library Consortium Best Books of 2009Both Boo Hoo Bird and Grumpy Bird made the Connecticut Library Consortium’s list of Best Books for Babies and Toddlers for 2009 (as recommended by librarians). Here’s a link to a PDF on their site. Have I mentioned how much I love librarians recently? Well, I love librarians. Thank you Connecticut librarians! I love you lots. December 9, 2009 Parents Magazine Best of 2009Boo Hoo Bird made Parents Magazine’s 20 Best Children’s Books list for 2009. I can’t seem to find a link though so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Nice! Go Bird Go!!!! |
