All Sorts of Awesomeness

Posted

My agent, who’s also agent to a daunting number of supremely smart, funny and talented folk,
has launched a web site!
It’s pretty!
It’s inspiring!
It’s slick!
Go see!

This weekend, I got word from friends coast-to-coast that All the World was named the year’s best picture book by the L.A.Times (thanks, Melodye!) and a Best Kids’s Book of the Year by The Washington Post (thanks, AnneMarie!)

Mercy, mercy me…

Also (and this kind of cracks me up) it was featured in People.
As in People Magazine.
For real, you guys.
They failed to include the photo of me hanging with the cast of Twilight, but they did recommend All the World on the books page. Isn’t that a trip?

My editor sent me a pdf of the page but I can’t figure out how to copy it here.
So, go ahead and imagine me with the cast of Twilight if you must…

    Okay, it’s not People, or the Washington Post, but on Sunday Susan Bloom, professor emeritus at Simmons, gave a talk at the Eric Carle Musem about best picture books of 2009 and she ended her talk with All the World. It’s lovely how many people this book has touched.

    Oh, yeah, baby, I’m seeing you with sparkly white skin and sort of red eyes, here. With a copy of All the World in your hands… reading to small, innocent children…

    Whoa. People.
