First another annoucement and then a comment about Radical Change:
1) Individuals in the CCBC-NET community often want to contact each other on a
"virtual" one-to-one basis. However, this becomes impossible when people commincating to the entire CCBC-NET community overlook the importance of signing their messages. Please do not assume that everyone who receives your general CCBC-NET message automatically knows who sent it. We cannot reply individually to each other unless we sign our messages and includes our e-mail addresses. Please remember to do this for the general good of all in the CCBC-NET community. Hey, that's not very radical! Let's talk about Radical Change!
2) Take a look at Hooray for Me! by Remy Charlip and Lilian Moore with illustrations by Vera B. Williams (reprinted in 1996 by Tricycle Press). I'm delighted that this joyful book is back in print. Vera B. who? Well, that's what some people said when Hooray for Me! was initially published by Parents Magazine Press in 1975. Vera B. Williams developed her approach to fully integrating the text into the pictures and the pictures into the text in the book Hooray for Me! More than 20 years ago Vera B. Williams painted the words in Hooray for Me! Yes, "painted." More than painted, actually. It's difficult to tell where the text of Hooray for Me! ends and the pictures begin - and vice versa. (Little wonder that Remy Charlip one of the people I understand to be radical change agents of earlier decades - invited Vera B. Williams to collaborate in creating Hooray for Me!) You've probably noticed the way Vera B. Williams painted the words in the award winning "More More More," Said the Baby
(Greenwillow, 1990). She's developed new ways of integrating texts and visual elements in her Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea (Greenwillow, 1988) and later in the innovative novel Scooter (Greenwillow, 1993). Hooray for Vera B. Williams!
Sincerely, Ginny
