Walking and Talking With . . . Candace Fleming

Typically in a Steve Sheinkin "Walking and Talking" piece you get to see Steve having a conversation with another author or artist en route somewhere. Now we're in a world where we're still able to walk, but not with one another. With that in mind, the latest "Walking and Talking" piece is of two artists together but separate. Candy Fleming joins Steve today from Oxford to discuss her latest (amazing) work of history The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh.

Review of the Day: Honeybee by Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann

Great writing for kids, when you encounter it, reminds you that there is always a new way to look at this old, familiar world of ours. If you buy only one bee book for the rest of your life, make it this one.

Ethics in Nonfiction for Kids

March 30, 2016 by Betsy Bird

I’m not quite sure what it says about me that whenever I need to have a go-to Children’s Literary Salon I inevitably make it about ethics in nonfiction for kids. I think, technically, I’ve done this topic three times and each time it just gets more and more interesting. Case in point, this past Saturday’s […]
