Fusenews: Giant Dance Party Changes Nothing
June 8, 2018 by
Shhh! I’m busy prepping for my daughter’s birthday so I really shouldn’t be blogging. My hands, however, are firmly tied. How can I help but blog when there’s so much interesting information out there these days? Check out some of these crazy cool links I found recently. If you know me then you know I […]
Wanted for Big Cash Prizes: American History Books
August 1, 2016 by
I think I need a new hobby. I should collect, and place on a website somewhere a listing of all the high cash, little known book awards for children’s books out there. Perhaps this already exists somewhere. Hm. In any case, it wasn’t long ago that a friend alerted me to the Grateful American Book […]
Fusenews: “It’s like a shoe of flesh”
April 21, 2015 by
Mmm. Vanity straight up. So I never quite know how to post “me stuff” news when it’s particularly nice. On the one hand I could post the link with the typical “I’m not worthy” statement attached, but that always sounds as if I doth protest too much. Or, I could go the other route, and […]
Fusenews: The Bear grumbleth “mum mum”
May 31, 2014 by
Honestly, I don’t quite know why I even bother doing Fusenews posts on Saturdays. As you might suspect, my readership dips considerably when the weekends hit, but an old Fusenews post is like a week old fish. Time does it no favors. As such, I shall cut through my seething envy of everyone at BookExpo […]
Fusenews: “What’s the matter with kids today?” – with apologies to Bye, Bye, Birdie
May 21, 2014 by
Giving birth! All the kids are doing it these days. And you know what giving birth means, right? It means having a little extra time to blog and get my non-work related projects done. Though, naturally, I wrote 50% of this post a day ago and then must have failed to save the darn thing. […]
Fusenews: Not seething with envy. It’s more of a percolation process.
April 17, 2014 by
So what’s the talk of the town these days? Well the relative brouhaha came about at the end of last week when ReedPOP announced a panel of “the world’s biggest children’s authors” in the field. That the luminaries in question were all white and male struck a raw nerve with a whole slew of folks. […]
Fusenews: The P.D. Eastman Influence
November 23, 2012 by
Hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving yesterday! I had family in town, including my niece and brother-in-law. Steve, the bro-in-law in question, has a kind of genius for synthesizing down P.D. Eastman books to their most essential lessons. He’s always objected to Are You My Mother? on the basis that this baby bird is […]
