Family Literacy,Welcome Baby, YA Writing, and a De-Gingered Anne Shirley
Things I've been meaning to tell you:
Family Literacy Day is this week. I forget which day so let's just celebrate all week long. Here's a nice poster from the talented Mélanie Watt to remind you. There's also a nice list of recommended books from Canadian Children's Book Centre here.
There's a new book coming from the wonderful Barbara Reid. It's called Welcome, Baby
and it looks like a perfect shower or baby gift. Go and see for yourself!
You can take an online YA writing class from Mariko Tamaki at U of T School of Continuing Studies. Details here.
I'm a big fan of Skim which was written by Mariko and illustrated by her cousin Jillian Tamaki and has one of my all-time favourite covers.

And speaking of covers, who gave Anne Shirley this very ill-advised makeover? Among other horrors, they have de-gingered her!
