Thanks for the mention, Elaine! I also like how you've shared news from the Horn Book and the CBC this week - that's content that's a bit harder for people to come by, and it's nice to see it in your "out and about" post.
Thanks, Elaine!
Great resources here, and thanks for the Sydney Taylor link. I maintain an awards database for CLN members, so I'll go update with this year's winners!
Thanks for all the link-y goodness.
