Here is the Robert’s Snow<\/a><\/strong> illustrator-and-snowflake feature schedule for Saturday, October 20. And, hey, look! Thacher Hurd<\/a><\/strong> made a snowflake in 2005. It’s pictured here and is called — you guessed it — “Skating Alligator.” (And, having just seen his site for the first time, I see that he is very modest about his parentage at his bio<\/a><\/strong>: “Thacher grew up in a family of children’s book artists.” Well, that’s one way to put it — as the son of Clement Hurd and the person to whom Goodnight Moon<\/em> is dedicated. Humble, indeed. But I digress). <\/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

Did you see yesterday’s features<\/a><\/strong>? Did you see Jeff Newman’s snowflake<\/a><\/strong> (!), as featured by Franki<\/a><\/strong> at A Year of Reading<\/em>? Did you hear Blogging for the Cure’s first ever podcast<\/a><\/strong>? Do you know what Roald Dahl and his delightfully terrifying children’s poem, “The Pig,” has to do with Robert’s Snow? And what Renaissance paintings and pensive pigs<\/a><\/strong> have to do with it? Visit this feature<\/a><\/strong> from yesterday to find out. All the features were fun to read. Don’t miss ’em!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget this new page<\/a><\/strong> here at 7-Imp, updated daily, 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 Picture Book Nerds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
