I am excited to be serving as a member of the poetry-nominating panel for the 2007 Cybils. Once again, I will be in great company with a another fine group of kidlit bloggers. I truly enjoyed my experience last year.

It just wouldn't be right if you weren't on one of those committees some place! This category is in such great hands with all of you.
