Here is the Robert’s Snow<\/a><\/strong> illustrator-and-snowflake feature schedule for Friday, October 19 (pictured here is Christopher Denise’s<\/a><\/strong> ’04 snowflake, “Early Snow.” I’m tellin ya’, folks, these snowflakes are too. much. fun. I just had to pick myself up off the floor after seeing this older snowflake. Oliver Finds His Way<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is one of my favorite picture books ever — and, yes! O! Yes! We will be featuring an interview soon with Phyllis Root, who tells us all about the writing of that book, but I digress. I had no idea this snowflake even existed. Just look<\/em> at Oliver there!) . . .<\/p>\n

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

* Graeme Base<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Andrea and Mark at Just One More Book<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Denise Fleming<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Pamela Coughlan (a.k.a. MotherReader) at MotherReader<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Jeff Mack<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Gina Ruiz at AmoXcalli<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and at Cuentecitos<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Jeff Newman<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Franki and Mary Lee at A Year of Reading<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

* Ruth Sanderson<\/a><\/strong>, featured by Camille Powell at BookMoot<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Did you see yesterday’s features<\/a><\/strong>? It was sort of like the ’80s edition, what with discussions of Jennifer Thermes’ big ’80s ‘do<\/a><\/strong> and Sam Riddleburger asking Erin Eitter Kono<\/a><\/strong> what her favorite post-’80s music video is. And just look at Henry ice skating<\/a><\/strong> from this feature<\/a><\/strong> of D.B. Johnson at Elisabeth Rose Gruner’s Lessons from the Tortoise<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. Oh my, does it get any better than Henry? . . . All<\/em> the features were wonderful. Man, you bloggers are fabulous. What a great Week One it’s been for this Blogging for a Cure effort. Thank you all for making this entire event run so smoothly, for all the work you’ve put into it, and for all your interesting write-ups (and don’t forget that these features run every day<\/em> ’til the day before the first auction. That means Saturdays and Sundays, too. So, hey, the week’s not over yet, friends. It will be cyber-snowing tomorrow and Sunday, too). <\/p>\n

Also, check this out: Kris Bordessa from Paradise Found<\/a><\/strong><\/em> has compiled a list of the wonderful give-aways that bloggers and illustrators have provided thus far in the Blogging for a Cure effort. You can read it here<\/a><\/strong>. Thanks, Kris! There are some generous, lovely gifts available for you Picture Book Nerds (I say that lovingly; I, myself, am the worst offender of Picture Book Nerd-dom). <\/p>\n

Don’t forget this new page<\/a><\/strong> here at 7-Imp, which lists all<\/em> the illustrator features thus far in one spot, and it’s turning into a handy-dandy, way-cool illustrator resource for us nerds. I update it daily. <\/p>\n
