Over at Kirkus this morning, I write about Politics & Prose’s Third Annual Picture Book Panel, which I moderated in early November, with Jason Chin, Jacqueline Woodson, Christopher Myers, John Parra, and Chris Soentpiet. The bookstore has posted a video link to the discussion, which is included in my write-up. I also include a link to the discussions, moderated by Leonard Marcus, from the last two years — for those of you who are really eager to hear picture book conversations.

All this is here at Kirkus today.

I’ve got art today here at 7-Imp from Keith Negley’s Tough Guys (Have Feelings Too), published by Flying Eye Books in October, as a follow-up to my Q&A with Negley last week.
