Unless you have just stopped by the blogosphere for the very first time today (in which case, welcome!) you probably know by now that Robert’s Snow is an online auction of little snowy works of art, benefitting the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. (Take a look at this year’s extraordinary snowflakes here). In support of this effort, many children’s literature bloggers (writers, reviewers, teachers and librarians) are highlighting the illustrators behind the snowflakes at their sites — with the intent of driving more folks to the auction.
Here’s the schedule for Week 3, which starts Monday. This schedule links to participating blogs, instead of to individual posts. You can find post-specific links and last-minute updates at 7-Imp. Jules and Eisha, the fairy godmothers of this event, also set up a special page at 7-Imp containing a comprehensive list of links to the profiles posted so far.

Please note that not all illustrators have been (or will be featured) on a blog so be sure to visit the auction site to see them all. Please note, too, that Jen Robinson is the mind behind this well-wrought html, without which I could tell you all about the auction but not link you to a thing…
