Authors of Banned Books

It's Banned Books Week.
A week when we take a look at the most banned books in this country and ask ourselves, "Huh?"

Well, here at Flavorwire are responses from some of the most banned authors.  Something to think about.

Skip on over to your public library and check their list of banned books.  You're certain to find one you really enjoy.  After all, the very best libraries contain lots that will offend someone, somewhere.  Mine did; doesn't yours?

Children's Book Week

It's National Children's Book Week!
I know -- Children's Book Week used to be in the fall. But it came at the same time as National Education Week. People were so busy visiting their kid's schools that they hardly noticed that the public libraries were also having special events this week.

For this, or probably other reasons, Children's Book Week was changed to happen in May. This week, in fact.

So -- read a children's book. Read one a day.
Hurry, you are already several days behind. Luckily picture books are short, so go check out some of the wonderful picture books that Fuse #8 has been featuring on her blog the past couple of weeks.
