Behind The ABC of It: A Talk With Curator Lisa Von Drasek

When I heard that Lisa Von Drasek, the curator of the Children's Literature Collection at the University of Minnesota had given a home to a new ABC of It (the children's literature exhibit that Leonard Marcus curated in NYC), I was intrigued. And when she allowed me to interview her about it? I was thrilled. Here's Lisa explaining how she managed to right a great wrong, and contribute something mighty to the world of children's literature.

Fusenews: All the news that’s fit to fuse

Boy, howdy. I haven't done a good old-fashioned Fusenews in a long time. How do these work again? I just sort of throw up the recent children's literature news from a variety of sources with comments of some sort? Honestly, I used to do these pieces fairly regularly. That is, until I realized that PW Children's Bookshelf basically had this game in the bag. They know what they're doing over there. Still, there are always some interesting tidbits that catch my eye. On beyond the usual suspects:

A Children’s Book Fever Dream: Compounding Awesome Upon Awesome

April 3, 2013 by Betsy Bird

There are some days when you are so utterly floored by delight that all you can do is throw up your hands and say to the universe, “I’m out!”  That was yesterday.  I’m out, folks.  I hit the top.  It’s all downhill from here.  And I’m so young!  It’s sad when you peak at 34. […]

SLJ’s 2011 Day of Dialog: “The best thing about being a writer is that you have readers” – Katherine Paterson

May 30, 2011 by Betsy Bird

So let’s get a grasp on what exactly it is I’m talking about here.  Day of Dialog.  A day when School Library Journal and roughly 1.5 billion children’s book publishers (read: 16, give or take) get together and attendees (who are mostly children’s librarians and children’s booksellers) get to witness a variety of interesting panels […]
