Each year we have a faculty reading, at which each of us shares a recent or old project - picture book texts, dummies, novel snippets, academic outtakes, plays, you name it. Here's Ashley sharing a draft picture book about a wildfire - not only is it stunning, the world badly needs this book!
Hillary shared an hilarious picture book text about pinkies.
Karen shared an academic piece about race in children's books that needs to be shared more widely.
MJ shared her picture book draft about her grandmother's experience coming to America and working in the mills.
And Sharon shared her classic,
Something Beautiful, that has been in print for over 20 years now!
I shared the illustrations (cover and interior) for the new edition of
A Bird on Water Street which will be re-released this coming November.
I really need to stop sitting near the front at these things, as you can't get a grasp of the crowd - the hall was full - so nice! And at the end, we faculty sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for the students. Surely, somebody got a photo of that? Please share!
