Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award: The Winner of 2022 – Eva Lindström!

The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (arguably the biggest international children's literature honor in the world) was announced yesterday. Do YOU know the winner?

Review of the Day: Magic Candies by Heena Baek, translated by Sophie Bowman

Deeply touching, funny, and incredibly odd, this is the kind of picture book that gets you excited about picture books all over again.

The Castle Where Children’s Literature Lives

In case you missed it, our National Ambassador of Young People’s Literature was hanging out with actual royalty the other day: That would be Jacqueline Woodson, receiving the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, in Sweden. Americans win the award every so once in a while, and for a brief shining moment some of us in the […]

Fusenews: Correlation Does Not Imply Causation!

April 5, 2017 by Betsy Bird

Days like today exist to remind you that spring is not summer.  Here in Evanston it is wet and rainy and altogether cool and unpleasant.  Think then of the folks in Bologna right now.  Sunny.  Warmer.  Full of gelato.  *sigh*  With that in mind, here’s a Fusenews that is occasionally drenched in a bit of […]

Fusenews: But you tell me over and over and over again my friend

November 10, 2016 by Betsy Bird

Remember the moment at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when he funds Fred and George’s joke shop?  What is it he says to them?  Ah yes. “I could do with a few laughs. We could all do with a few laughs. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need them […]

October 28, 2015 by Betsy Bird

Morning, folks.  Let’s see, let’s see.  After yesterday maybe it would be a good idea to do a post on rainbows and unicorns and cute little puppy dogs cavorting in the sun.  I’m a little exhausted after yesterday’s post so let’s just do a quickie Fusenews of wonderfullness instead. First up, The Toast knocks it […]

Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Winner Thoughts and Fancies

April 7, 2011 by Betsy Bird

By now, I’m sure you already heard that Shaun Tan, amazing creator behind The Arrival, Tales from Outer Suburbia, and so on and such, was this year’s recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.  Why should you care?  Well apart from the fact that it’s always nice to see genius rewarded, there is the small […]

Fusenews: Encyclopedia Peck

October 18, 2010 by Betsy Bird

As far as I’m concerned, every good blog post should begin with fiction starring Gregory Peck.  What we have here is one of the luscious finds boasted by Greg Hatcher over at the site Comic Book Resources.  I’m a big fan of Hatcher because when he does round ups like this one he always takes […]

Video Sunday: Sloth and MLIS Degrees

June 6, 2010 by Betsy Bird

Okay dokey!  So!  First off, for half a second there I thought I couldn’t embed videos.  Fortunately this morning I found myself a little workaround.  I can now embed almost every video, with some exceptions. Huzzah!  Now.  Librarians doing Lady Gaga.  My first thought off the top of my head is that they’re doing a […]
