Below is the Robert’s Snow<\/a><\/strong> illustrator-and-snowflake feature schedule for Monday, October 22. <\/p>\n

I’ve decided to stop featuring older snowflakes at these daily-schedule posts (even though it was a delight to do so) and instead feature some of the 2007 snowflakes which were not snagged by a blogger for a feature in this Blogging for a Cure effort. (As a reminder, when I announced in September the call to bloggers to feature the snowflake-making illustrators and their snowy creations, some artists had not yet submitted their snowflakes to Dana-Farber. So, in order to get this Blogging for a Cure effort organized as quickly as possible, I worked off just that first list of illustrators — and bloggers are highlighting illustrators whose snowflakes Dana-Farber had already received at that time. Therefore — and unfortunately — not all the participating artists will be featured). <\/p>\n

But I can at least show you some of the other new snowflakes which will not be featured by participating bloggers. <\/p>\n

Today’s snowflake, “Jingle Pig Rock,” was created by Jarrett J. Krosoczka<\/a><\/strong>. We at 7-Imp are big fans of Jarrett’s books. We’ve made that clear here<\/a><\/strong> (a Sunday kicks feature on Jarrett), here<\/strong><\/a> (a co-review of his new title, Punk Farm on Tour<\/a><\/em><\/strong>), here<\/a><\/strong> (our interview with him from May of this year), here<\/a><\/strong> (when Eisha briefly got to meet him and said “you rock” a lot), and (whew) a few other spots on our site where we’ve reviewed earlier books of his. In fact, some time very soon, the Punk Farm<\/a><\/strong> gang — Pig, Sheep, Cow, Goat, and Chicken — will be stopping by for an interview. Don’t you want to see them answer those weird and wonderful Pivot questions? We know we do. <\/p>\n

You can bid on Jarrett’s snowflake during the third auction<\/a><\/strong>, which begins December 3rd and runs until December 7th. (And here<\/a><\/strong> is his own blog post about the snowflake). <\/p>\n

Reminder that 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
