    Photos Tell the Story: Fictional Picture Books with Photographic Illustrations

    Betsy Bird, September 7, 2018 | Uncategorized

    Years ago at NYPL I had the pleasure of hosting a panel, as part of my Children’s Literary Salon series, that I’d been looking forward to doing for years. Back in my college days I was convinced that I had a future as a photographer. That plan didn’t pan out (my technical skills with a […]

    31 Days, 31 Lists: Day Fourteen – 2017 Fabulous Photography

    Betsy Bird, December 14, 2017 | Best Books, Best Books of 2017

    Well, folks, I’m sick. Sick as a dog. Sick as a dog on a log in a bog (I think I’ve been writing up picture books too long). Fortunately, and by complete coincidence, today’s post is going to be an easy one. Folks that know me well are aware that there was a time when, […]

    Guest Post: Marc Aronson and the Design and Flow of Nonfiction

    Betsy Bird, March 23, 2017 | Uncategorized

    It is difficult to pin down the first time I became aware of the work of Marc Aronson.  The likelihood is that it occurred when I read his books.  Or was it his work as an Assistant Teaching Professor in the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University?  How about his support of international […]

    31 Days, 31 Lists: Day 14 – Fabulous 2016 Photography Books for Kids

    Betsy Bird, December 14, 2016 | Best Books, Best Books of 2016

    When I was in college I temporarily rejected my natural inclinations to be a librarian (an occupation I dismissed as boring and nightmarishly appealing) and decided I would become a photographer.  So got a B.A. with a concentration in Fine Arts – Photography.  And what I learned from my stint as an architectural/portrait/sports photographer was […]

    Fusenews: Because nothing says “birthday” like Barbarsol

    Betsy Bird, July 11, 2014 | Fusenews

    First and foremost, hello.  How are you?  Are you having a nice day?  So nice to see you here, but before we go any further I must tell you that you very much need to leave me.  Just for a little while.  As you may have heard, my book with Jules Danielson and Peter Sieruta, […]

    Fusenews: What’s wrong with this picture?

    Betsy Bird, May 26, 2011 | Fusenews

    With Book Expo going full-blast in town and my library celebrating its Centennial all at the same time, blogging is possible but slightly more difficult than usual.  I am amused to find that when I skip a day some folks worry that I might be in labor.  Fear not.  I’ll find a way to update […]

    Photography and Fiction

    Betsy Bird, March 2, 2011 | Uncategorized

    Back in November I speculated as to whether or not a book containing photography, and just photography, could ever win a Caldecott Award.  Today my thoughts turn elsewhere. Just yesterday I sat in on the Penguin Young Readers Group librarian preview for the May-August 2011 season (round-up to come).  The folks there had to go […]

    Fusenews: Time to class the joint up

    Betsy Bird, February 28, 2011 | Fusenews

    Nice movie poster, right?  Wouldn’t look too shabby in your local cineplex.  Well, don’t get too excited quite yet.  It seems that Sean Astin (a.k.a. Sam from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) is raising money to start production on this film, to be shot in Denmark.  Lowry reports on the process, though she is […]
