ICBD 2017

Salutations! Our apologies from having been away from the blog for a bit. I promise we haven't left this corner of the internet behind!

Happy April 2! It's fitting that the day after the good-natured (hopefully) fun of April Fool's Day is a day honoring the good-natured, hopeful, and good-clean-fun world of children's literature--International Children's Book Day!

The date, though, isn't related to April Fool's; it honors the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, classic fairy-tale author.

Whether you're of board-book, picture-book, chapter-book, or middle-grade, or whether you've moved past the children's section to YA or beyond, I for one owe so much of my book-loving, fandom-crazy, "unironially enthusiastic" identity to the books I read and was read from that perfect children's sections. To those books, those authors, and their supporters--happy ICBD 17!

Happy reading!
