Children’s Authors And Illustrators Too Good To Miss: Biographical Sketches and Bibliographies by Sharron L. McElmeel (Libraries Unlimited, 2004). From the blurb: “Who are today’s must-know children’s authors and illustrators? McElmeel’s ready reference introduces you to some of the hottest new names in children’s literature, and reaquaints you with established authors and illustrators who are just now becoming recognized for their contributions to the field.”

My Thoughts

First off, I’m hugely honored to be included among those 45 authors and illustrators “too good to miss.” I won’t mention everyone featured (though you can check out the list and purchasing information for yourself).

Today, I’m also excited to have received an ARC for Maya Running by Anjali Banerjee (Wendy Lamb Books, 2005).
