Winnie-the-Pooh Celebration Week: Day 2 – How a Bear Became a Book: A Q&A with Annette Bay Pimentel and Faith Pray

January 20, 2026 by Betsy Bird

After reading today's book I realized that it's showing kids that just because someone's name is on a book, they're just one of a large group of people, all working in tandem to make it the best possible literary experience. Naturally, questions abound.

Video Sunday: Smooth Brains

Wilson their own talk show, I would be first in line to be in the studio audience. Here’s how they described this talk at Anderson’s Bookshops: Jeanne and N.D. are good friends, […]

August 29, 2016 by Betsy Bird

Morning, poppins! Yesterday, for the first time in a long while, I submitted a Video Sunday for your approval.  Trouble is, I may have failed to mention one of the most fascinating videos out there with a tie-in to books for kids, so I’d like to rectify the situation today. The title of the article […]

Fusenews: Quoth the winner – “I was at dog church!”

February 19, 2016 by Betsy Bird

First and foremost, this: That would be Kadir Nelson’s tribute to the Schomburg Library in NYC. In an amazing bit of research you can see that he includes both the old Schomburg Library (now overrun with ivy) and the new Schomburg together at the bottom.  Love that fine attention to detail. In all the talks we’ve […]
