Late last night I arrived to the pink lights and bustle of Los Angeles.
Late late. I’m all foggy-headed.
A constant stream of gate announcements ran through my dreams
Still, I’m here, sharing air space with zillions of other writers, readers and artists.
OK, maybe not a zillion but a whole lot of folk.
A whole lot of folk whose passion is making good books for kids.
I’m so inspired to be in the thick of it.
Here’s a link to a good batch of poems about reading, like this one by Arnold Lobel:
Books to the ceiling
Books to the sky
My piles of books are a mile high…
(Complete poem on the web page…)
I think they might help put you in the mood I’m in.
That Arnold Lobel poem hangs in my kitchen — right next to wear I blog.
Have fun! I wish I could be there . . .
— Jules at 7Imp, who hopes you don’t care if your book news makes her 7 Kicks list this Sunday, ’cause it’s so exciting and I can’t believe I missed it earlier . . .
You are so cute and sweet. Then I’LL have to put your mentioning me on MY list of 7 Kicks ’cause I’ll be so flattered and all…
Always wonderful to see Arnold Lobel’s wise words. I hadn’t read this one before. Thanks!

I know — it’s fun, isn’t it?
Thanks for stopping by!
