Fusenews: We Would Have Also Accepted "Fast Food Fairies"

I know we Americans don’t talk a lot about the translation of children’s literature for a variety of reasons. Even so, I had hoped it would be bigger news when translator Anthea Bell died recently.

Video Sunday: Butterfly in the sky / I can go twice as high (thanks in large part to physics)…

Happy news, neighborinos! Today I bring unto you a video from BookFest, a yearly celebration of children’s literature hosted (these days) by Bank Street College of Education. Kidlit TV recorded almost the entire thing live and then put it on air. This year I had the honor of moderating a panel discussion with funny folks […]

It’s worth it.  I mean, did you see that they have Laura Amy Schlitz with Jeanne Birdsall in conversation?!?  Right there.  Here are the details: Saturday, October 24, 2015 BookFest @ […]

Fusenews: Whole lotta off-topic stuff

September 6, 2010 by Betsy Bird

Once in a while it does the brain a bit of good to go a little off-topic.  So while most of this is children’s literature related, there’s a whole slew of other topics worked in for spice as well.  Have at it. I haven’t been recommending that you read Collecting Children’s Books nearly enough lately, […]
