\nI’m keeping things very brief today here at 7-Imp, though I do hope you leave your kicks from the week, because I’m traveling now. I’m in D.C. to moderate the third annual picture book panel at Politics & Prose<\/a><\/strong>. This will be tonight and is 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>. I’m looking forward to the discussion. <\/p>\n

I’m sharing today my very favorite spread from Jumping Off Library Shelves: A Book of Poems<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (WordSong, September 2015), selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins<\/a><\/strong> and illustrated by Jane Manning. These are poems about libraries, blessed libraries, and I love this spread so much, as it pays tribute to the one and only Augusta Baker<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome. <\/p>\n

I do hope you leave your kicks, and it may take me a while to respond this week — but I will. <\/p>\n
