Just received official word from my publishers at Lee & Low Books that Black All Around! my fourth book (second with Lee & Low) has been named to the 2005-2006 Children's Crown Gallery master list. The mission of the Children's Crown Gallery is to encourage elementary students to read wholesome and uplifting books. Students will vote on their favorite book in the spring, so the top selection from a group of ten will be announced then.I will be signing Black All Around! this week at IRA's (International Reading Association) annual conference in San Antonio, Tuesday May 3, booth #444 at 10: a.m.

And for Mz. Giget who has been recently experiencing writers block, here's an article from the Lee & Low site on breaking the storytelling mold.
And since I'm way too busy and shouldn't be blogging, I'd better vamoose while I'm ahead.
