What I’m Doing at Kirkus (and Chapter 16) This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Brian Pinkney
January 19th, 2018 by jules
Today over at Kirkus, I’ve two brand-new picture books that are, in part, about the emotional intelligence of children (and, well, rabbits).
That is here.
Over at Tennessee’s own Chapter 16 today, I have a Q&A with author Matt de la Peña and illustrator Loren Long. They will be in Nashville soon talking about their newest picture book, Love. That Q&A is here.
Last week, I wrote here about Andrea Davis Pinkney’s and Brian Pinkney’s Martin Rising: Requiem for a King (Scholastic, January 2018).
I’m following up with some art from the book today, but I also highly recommend you head to the Horn Book’s site and watch this video interview with Andrea about the book. I watched that earlier this week and enjoyed it.

are down on their knees / proposing to Equality: / Be mine!”

Julie,
I’ve enjoyed your blog and per your stern warnings, I swear I have never contacted you in the past.
I am sending you an announcement via Email for a Book Giveaway on TCBR for our self-published children’s picture book titled “PUSHBALL – A Game That’s Tasty to Eat!” It’s available on Amazon in both Ebook and Paperback versions.
My good friend and author Tom Leavy and I were hoping that this being my first illustrated book, you just might be interested and have a look at our book.
Best regards,
John Buck
