\nI’ve got three quick 7-Imp announcements, and I’m going to use rock-and-roll hands, instead of bullet points, because rock-and-roll hands are infinitely more exciting. <\/p>\n

I’ve got a guest post<\/a><\/strong> today over at Calling Caldecott<\/em> about Mordicai Gerstein’s The Night World<\/em>. <\/p>\n

I already reviewed this beautiful book back in June for BookPage<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, but writing about it in even more detail for Calling Caldecott<\/em> made me love it all the more. (Here’s<\/a><\/strong> art from the book.)<\/p>\n

This Sunday, I’ll moderate the third annual picture book panel at Politics & Prose<\/a><\/strong> in D.C. This panel will be all about picture books for older readers with Jason Chin<\/a><\/strong>, Jacqueline Woodson<\/a><\/strong>, Christopher Myers<\/a><\/strong>, John Parra<\/a><\/strong>, and Chris Soentpiet<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Here<\/a><\/strong> are the details. (Nancy Paulsen is listed at that link, but she’ll be unable to attend.) <\/p>\n

Spam and so-called spam bots have been making things difficult lately here at 7-Imp. But the webmaster (my personal tech support, my husband) has installed the WordPress plug-in reCAPTCHA, which we are testing in order to address this spam aggression. Should you have trouble posting a comment, which will now require you to type in a word to prove you’re not spam (sorry), please contact me. <\/p>\n

There’s a lot more I need to do here at 7-Imp (the archive pages are woefully out-of-date), but at least the spam problem is solved. Maybe. Fingers crossed. <\/p>\n

Until tomorrow … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
