Jo Ann Hernandez Things I've Noticed

Things I’ve Noticed Everyone who follows BronzeWord Latino Authors posts and links from @LatinoBookNews knows that I love doing research. Usually I go to a blog and look for their email address and their Twitter name so I can contact the owner and invite them to participate in what I’m doing. Or if I am twittering their article, I want to use their Twitter name so they know that their post had value. Because of my constant searching, I have seen a few things that work well and a few things tha… Continue

Chris J The "End of Days" Cycle

A “day” is a cycle of warming and cooling as the earth spins on its axis. A “year” is a cycle of warming and cooling as the earth revolves around the sun. There is one more “cycle” of warming and cooling that the earth goes through, called a “glacial cycle.” For some reason, which science can’t prove, the earth begins to cool after reaching an average temperature just a few degrees warmer than the earth currently is. The prophets of the Old Testament warned us about something we now refer to as… Continue

Kim Culbertson Living Ish-fully Ever After

My five year old daughter loves the book ISH by Peter Reynolds. It's a lovely little story about being creative without needing to be "perfect," that the joy of creating far outweighs the need for an exact product. When she draws something now, she tends to say "This doesn't look like a lighthouse, Mommy, but it looks lighthouse-ish." In the book, the main character learns that he can also write ISH-fully and ultimately relax ISH-fully. Life, he finds, is in the ISH. This year, I read ISH to my… Continue

Fleur Bradley Friday Links

For the latest and greatest in all things YA (plus some detours), here are your Friday links: People unfamiliar with YA often ask me what the deal is with these teen books, and why there’s even a whole section for teens now. Note that most of these people are adults… I usually encourage them to read some of my YA favorites, but here’s a good (oldy but goody) Writer’s Digest link about the genre, and what gives. In honor of banned bo… Continue
