Children’s Literary Salon: On Beyond Narnia
Today a co-worker pulled me aside and asked about our next Children’s Literary Salon. She wanted to know how I was getting such fabulous stars, particularly since the next Salon (a week from this Saturday) will be featuring not just Penderwicks scribe Jeanne Birdsall but author N.D. Wilson to boot. Add in the topic (a little non-Christian Humanism with your kidlit, anyone?) and you’ve got yourself a slam bang killer talk. I told her that authors are generous people and Jeanne and Nate particularly so. As ever, there will be a live feed of the discussion here and this time I’ll try using my own personal laptop so that we don’t have to worry as much about the sound quality.

Does she not know you’re a fabulous star yourself? That’s like asking Beyonce how she got Shakira in her video. Or…something.
You. You I like.
I like you, too, Mara, since in this analogy I get to be Shakira. Nate has to be somebody else — Kanye maybe.
Any chance this was recorded? I would love to see it, but I missed the live event.
It’s this upcoming Saturday and it will indeed be recorded.
I’m so sorry I’ll miss this in person, so I can’t wait to see the video!
