Children’s #books
When the #children were younger (all fled home now) I used to read most of the books I bought them - curiosity rather than ‘censorship’ really. So I have missed the new #JuveNoir movement but a short review made me pay a little attention. Need Grandkids for an excuse maybe (unlikely to happen for a long time). Anyone else paying attention to them?

Today I learned that among the survivors of the Lusitania were a professor of art and archaeology[1] and a twelve-year-old girl,[2] who had become friends on the voyage and survived the shipwreck together. They remained friends and one day she told him that books written for girls were too boring—so he wrote an exciting one for her! You can read it today![3]

The idea for a dragon – an illustration from Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship
Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship is the first Clever Dad adventure story that I wrote where Tristan’s father builds him some very special toys.
In this story, Tristan arrives at the island of Polysnezzia only to find that there are some real rough pirates digging up the island looking for treasure. They are not to easily be scared but maybe they would be if they saw a dragon. The problem is nobody really believes in dragons especially not some rough, tough pirates. The book is illustrated throughout the text and these are repeated at the back of the printed book for younger readers to colour in. The book is also available in ebook format.
The story is available globally from Amazon on different sites. These are the links to .co.uk, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/1980869561/, and .com, https://www.amazon.com/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl-ebook/dp/B08BPLDLL6/.

Wow. Amazing review of Blackbeard’s Treasure! ‘Children’s Fiction at its best’… I mean. Wow. #childrensfiction #kidlit #childrensbooks #bloomsbury #theladymagazine

i really love that Google Books gives me a sample of books I'm thinking of reading. Usually, I read a chapter or two, then order it from my library.
And then sometimes I read a chapter or two, and keep reading until the sample is done. And am desperate to read on.
It may leave me temporarily miserable to be left aloft mid-story, but at least it promises that I'll really enjoy that book.

This is such a good podcast from agent Jennifer Laughran and YA author Sara Zarr about the creative life, writing careers as a meditative labyrinth, the urge to get drafts out before they're ready, and more: https://literaticast.libsyn.com/55-into-the-labyrinth-with-sara-zarr

As a writer, I'm always fascinated by art's relationship with narrative in a book. I'm a huge fan of cover art and interior art in books for any age of reader, though of course #KidLit in particular. This article (which I found thanks to the artist who created my first two books' covers, Antonio Javier Caparo) goes into art, narrative, and books in gorgeous detail: https://www.muddycolors.com/2023/02/the-book-as-object/?fbclid=IwAR3XmfMmcem_DMffgEmFrg9SfzO0T2h8om-b_5psXwQfpjlipKVnczBJ71w

I've been off social media for a bit, dreaming up a revision for a novel I very much want to see in print, and am discovering why (as I tell students at my school talks) I love revision: This is the point of the writing process where the ideas take hold, new ideas come forth, and you truly learn what your story is about. It's like magic to feel it all come together.

I was just thinking of how much I love to see visual art evolve: from sketch to more detailed, to something really amazing, then more details, and it's gorgeous.
Funny how this would never be satisfying with a piece of writing: the baggy first draft, the major cuts and rewriting for the first revision, cuts of the bad rewriting and more rewriting for the second revision, maybe a total rewrite, then cuts, tweaks, revision x 3 or more…not pretty!

One of my biggest hopes for the New Year (I hesitate to call this a "resolution" because I've been working on it over the past six months too) is to not let the bumps and blows that we all get as authors take me down too much; and to remember both my own immense joy in creating, and the unbridled joy of my young readers.

This week, I've been watching videos of my son as he was growing up. Watching those when he was my readership's age (3rd through 5th grade) was an important reminder of what kids that age are like. The enthusiasm, eagerness, sheer delight in learning, and unadorned quiet confidence. He has always been someone who might now show this on the outside to everyone, but it's clear that he had this inside. This is why I write for this age. There is no greater honor. #KidLit #MGLIT #ChildrensFiction

So I was chatting earlier about how teachers and librarians find #ChildrensFiction, and I'm now curious: Has what I've seen and heard about on the bird site and irl in my own small town reflected what's going on in the greater world?
So here's a question for #KidLit people who are teachers or children's librarians or who know them well: How do you prefer to learn about new #ChildrensBooks? What are your best sources? Thank you!

So I've been in love with #KidLit pretty much all my life. I always told stories, and began putting it to the page when I was a teen. But once I was in high school, I thought I needed to write Heavy Lit Fic to be a serious writer (there is such snobbery—which I still see today—around #ChildrensFiction—in the literary world, which is such a shame, as this kind of fiction is deep, powerful, engaging, so much fun, yet not at all easy to write!). And so I gave up writing what I loved most. 1/3

A lovely article about Jason Reynolds and Joseph Coelho, two amazing #kidlit authors who are ambassadors for children's literature in their respective nations (U.S. and UK), sharing their thoughts about reaching children, modeling literacy, and encouraging reading: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/dec/17/ive-been-banned-since-the-beginning-jason-reynolds-talks-to-joseph-coelho?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #ChildrensFiction #PictureBook #MGLit
