Here is the Robert’s Snow<\/a><\/strong> illustrator-and-snowflake feature schedule for Tuesday, October 16 (pictured here is Anna Alter’s<\/a><\/strong> ’04 snowflake, “A Cat in the Snow”). In this below schedule, the illustrator’s name links to his\/her website, but click on the blog to be taken to that blogger’s snowflake\/illustrator feature: <\/p>\n

* Selina Alko<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Cheryl Klein at Brooklyn Arden<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Scott Bakal<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Elaine Magliaro at Wild Rose Reader<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Alexandra Boiger<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Kris Bordessa at Paradise Found<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Paige Keiser<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Paula Willey at Your Neighborhood Librarian<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Janet Stevens<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Tricia Stohr-Hunt at The Miss Rumphius Effect<\/strong><\/em><\/a> . . . <\/p>\n

Did everyone see yesterday’s features<\/a><\/strong>? They were a fabulous start to this whole effort. Maybe each day I can pick out one moment to highlight (if I had more hours in the day, I’d do more): One excellent moment from yesterday, other than seeing Grace Lin’s smiling face<\/a><\/strong> and all<\/em><\/font> the great write-ups, was Kevin Hawkes<\/a><\/strong> telling Cynthia Lord<\/a><\/strong> (here<\/a><\/strong>) that illustrators \u201cbring the greatest art to children\u2019s books\u201d and that “children truly deserve that.\u201d <\/p>\n

Please note that I have started a page here at 7-Imp that includes a comprehensive listing of all the snowflake\/illustrator features. You can see it here<\/a><\/strong>. At the end of each day, I’ll add the daily schedule and will leave it here for all posterity at 7-Imp, as a record of all the bloggers’ hard work and talents — and as a handy resource on illustrators for Picture Book Nerds like me to enjoy. <\/p>\n

One more final note: I can’t possibly count all the bloggers who have been talking up this Blogging for a Cure effort, and I thank you all (according to the ever-informative Tracy Grand at JacketFlap<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, 169 posts about Robert’s Snow were posted mid-day yesterday!). But one post worth noting, as it involves the creation of a snowflake by, well, a stuffed elephant, is here<\/a><\/strong> at Ellsworth’s Journal<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, via author Candice Ransom<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Enjoy the posts. And go buy a snowflake already . . . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
