\nOver at Kirkus<\/em> this morning, I write about Politics & Prose’s Third Annual Picture Book Panel, which I moderated in early November, with Jason Chin<\/a><\/strong>, Jacqueline Woodson<\/a><\/strong>, Christopher Myers<\/a><\/strong>, John Parra<\/a><\/strong>, and Chris Soentpiet<\/a><\/strong>. 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. <\/p>\n

All this is here<\/a><\/strong> at Kirkus<\/em> today. <\/p>\n

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