    Book Trailer Reveal: Little Libraries, Big Heroes by Miranda Paul and John Parra

    Betsy Bird, August 28, 2019 | Videos

    If a pile of money was suddenly plopped into your lap, what would you buy? Let's say you had to spend the money on something superfluous. Something that wasn't a necessity. What would you buy? I'd buy a Little Free Library. In lieu of that, I'll do the next best thing and premiere the trailer for the upcoming book LITTLE LIBRARIES, BIG HEROES.

    Book Trailer Premiere: Cape by Kate Hannigan

    Betsy Bird, July 30, 2019 | Videos

    In author Kate Hannigan's latest novel, the author switches gears a bit with Cape. It's launching a series called "The League of Secret Heroes" and publishing with Simon & Schuster/Aladdin on August 6th. Kate was kind enough to share with me some background to the book. Get ready for Wonder Woman meets The Imitation Game.

    Book Trailer Reveal: My Name is Wakawakaloch by Chana Stiefel and Mary Sullivan

    Betsy Bird, May 15, 2019 | Videos

    Wrack my brain though I have, I can't think of a picture book that specifically discusses the mispronunciation of the protagonist's name. I mean, we've had lots of name-related picture books. My Name Is Yoon. Chrysanthemum. The Name Jar. Alma. But about the way you say it specifically? Hmmm.

    Board Book Trailer Reveal: You Are Light by Aaron Becker

    Betsy Bird, February 12, 2019 | Best Books of 2019, Videos

    If you know Aaron Becker's name it's probably from that magnificent quest trio of picture books, Journey, Quest, and Return. Becker took a seemingly simple form, the picture book, and gave it breadth and depth without sacrificing child-interest and focus. But apparently that wasn't enough of a challenge because now he's created a board book and it's a doozy of a marvel.

    Book Trailer Premiere: It’s Not Hansel and Gretel by Josh Funk

    Betsy Bird, November 29, 2018 | Videos

    It’s a little crazy but do you know how hard it is to find a decent edition of Jack and the Beanstalk these days? The Galdone version is, I’m sorry, really weird and the E. Nesbit too long. Honestly, one of the best versions I’ve run across is Josh Funk’s It’s Not Jack and the […]

    Book Trailer Reveal: Lily & Kosmo in Outer Outer Space by Johnathan Ashey

    Betsy Bird, November 27, 2018 | Videos

    The book trailer. It’s a weird invention. When publishers started to create them, the librarians, booksellers, and educators sat back and tried to figure out their ultimate purpose. It’s been a little more than a decade since their emergence and I don’t think we’re any closer to determining their final purpose. I’m working on a […]

    Book Trailer Reveal: Meet the Latkes by Alan Silberberg

    Betsy Bird, November 20, 2018 | Videos

    Every year in December I do this 31 Days, 31 Books series. On each day I present a different list full of the best of the year. Board Books one day. Funny picture books another. And somewhere in there I put out a list I like to call Transcendent Holiday Books. These are the books […]

    Book Trailer Premier: Silver Batal and the Water Dragon Races by K.D. Halbrook

    Betsy Bird, October 17, 2018 | Videos

    When I was a kid I didn’t actually use my public library much. Like a lot of kids, it was the school library where I discovered the books that would be most beloved to me. And in one particular case, I found a book that stayed with me a very long time. I’m not sure […]

    Book Trailer Reveal: Eye Spy by Guillaume Duprat

    Betsy Bird, September 21, 2018 | Videos

    People are on to me. I seem to have given away the game. Looking at me you’d never know I harbor a sweet spot for Nonfiction, but my love goes down and deep. Now I know I just did a book trailer premier yesterday. I don’t want you to think I’m getting sloppy on you […]

    Book Trailer Reveal: King Alice by Matthew Cordell

    Betsy Bird, September 20, 2018 | Videos

    Yesterday I produced my Fall Prediction listing of 2019 Caldecott and Newbery contenders. But what if one of those books wins the Caldecott or Newbery Award proper? You know what happens in these cases, don’t you? Either the poor winner is so overwhelmed by the question “What’s Next?” from a populace expecting brilliance that they […]
