(would you all like more pictures of book covers? or do you care not at all? One reason I don't put them up is that I have a vague feeling that if I show some covers but not others, the ones I don't show will be sad...but I could get over this).

Heavy Medal, the mock Newbery blog, is up and running again --with lots to say about middle grade fantasy books in contention (and other books too, but these things happen). So far this year, I'm don't have a mg sff book in mind for the win (do you?)...but that could change at any moment!
At Oz and Ends, you can find a fascinating reflection on Political Authority in Children's Fantasy.
There's an on-line auction of children's book art underway to support free speech, organized by the American Booksellers Association for Free Expression.
A call for papers has just gone out for a 2012 conference in Ottawa on Children's Literature and Imaginative Geography.
