AAAAHHHH. I only now found out about Peter Sieruta’s death. I am so sorry to hear…I actually commented on his blog – and sent him an email, too, not realizing.

R.I.P., Peter

We are so sad and miss Peter Sieruta so much.

Peter Sieruta loved Betty MacDonald’s books and it was wonderful to be in contact with Peter.

I only knew Peter through his blog, but it was one of the best blogs out there about children’s books and interesting little tidbits about the authors, the publishing world and the backgrounds of almost anything connected to the titles.

I’m so sorry for your personal loss and for the loss to the children’s literature community. And that now I will never get to know someone who really impacted my world, even though he never knew it.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend Peter. I wish I’d gotten to know him, but the closest I came was when he covered my interview with author Edward Ormondroyd in October 2011. I found it poignant that Peter’s last post pays tribute to Maurice Sendak; in radically different ways both have done so much for children’s literature. And Betsy, if you ever doubt your own writing ability, I encourage you to reread the beautiful eulogy you wrote, in haste and in grief, about Peter.

With sympathy,
Marc

So sorry to hear of your loss…and our community’s loss. I am sad, too, I never met or knew him.
