 Jill Corcoran at ALA Midwinter The Dare to Dream ... Change the World Writing Contest officially launched at the ALA Midwinter Meeting !
Help spread the word! Send the contest press release and flyer to your schools, libraries and hometown media!  Eric Ode signing Dan, the Taxi Man for his many fans Saturday in the Kane Miller/Usborne Books booth at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. Squeeba-dee dee, squeeba-dee doo! Shake-a shake, crash! Shake-a shake, crash! What fun!  We're off to Seattle to exhibit at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting! Very excited to be promoting our new books as well as announcing the Dare to Dream Change the World Writing Contest.
And special treats! Both Jill Corcoran (Dare to Dream ... Change the World) and Eric Ode (Dan, the Taxi Man) will be making booth appearances! Illustration from Sally and Dave by Felice Arena  The child with the winning entry may select any library (school, public or other) which serves a community of children to receive the grand prize of $1500 worth of Kane Miller and Usborne Books. That library could be a home school cooperative library, a church library, a hospital library, a community outreach library, etc.
While we all would like to have new books at our disposal, what an opportunity to look outside ourselves at our community to find an organization serving children that could really use them. Those who dare to dream can change the world, even if just little at a time in their own backyard.  Every American could view yesterday's inauguration from start to finish, close-up and afar, along with all the festivities simply by turning on the TV or their computer, tablet, or smartphone. But it hasn't always been so! Share What Does the President Look Like to examine how technology has brought incredible changes in how the public knows its leaders. And don't forget the app version on the Storytime app!  BREAKING NEWS!
The Dare to Dream ... Change the World Annual Writing Contest for students grades three to eight will launch January 25th! Grand prize winner receives $1500 worth of Kane Miller and Usborne books for a school library of their choice! Share the press release and contest flyer now.  Dare to Dream ... Change the World
is the Poetry Foundation's recommended book for January! And ... a very important POETRY announcement will be made soon to coincide with the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting where Jill Corcoran, anthologist and contributing poet, will visit the Kane Miller booth. Watch this blog for a sneak preview! CURRICULUM GUIDE AVAILABLE HERE! Elizabeth Bluemle recently posted on her Publishers Weekly blog about keeping backlist gems alive by continuing to recommend them to young readers. Kane Miller Books’ picture book “classics,” from Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge to Guji Guji, from Yellow Umbrella to This Is the Tree, from While We Were Out to Nina Bonita, beloved by critics, educators, booksellers and children, are just as “beautiful, worthy and wonderful” as they were when first published.  It's probably a little too cold to do this anywhere today. (Even here in sunny southern California where the forecast is a chilly high of 55 degrees!)
But you can still celebrate by cuddling up with your child and reading Wrong Way. This feisty little duck can't resist a puddle! |
