Hi, CCBC-Netters -
After I wrote earlier today about Susie Morgenstern's upcoming U.S. Midwest appearances, Connie Rockman reminded me that the "Ninth Book of Junior Authors and Illustrators" (H.W. Wilson, 2004) contains an author profile of Susie Morgenstern. Whether or not you'll have a chance to meet and hear Susie Morgenstern in person while she's in the U.S., I encourage you to look at this extremely valuable profile (and the others in the Ninth, too, if you've missed seeing it up to now).
I've also heard from Jill Davis who was Susie Morgenstern's U.S. editor at Viking. I had thought about trying to locate Jill before sending the first message to everyone, but then I went ahead and sent it off without following through on my own good intention. Jill has reminded me that the U.S. publisher of "It's Not Fair!" (1983) was Farrar Straus Giroux.
Thanks, Connie and Jill!
Cordially, Ginny
*********************************************************** MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE SENT EARLIER TODAY - Last week I learned that Susie Morgenstern, the author of many children's books published in France, will be making several public appearances in the U.S. at the end of April. Susie Morgenstern frequently meets with children in France, as well as touring in other European nations.
Soon some of her American fans who read French and/or English will have the opportunity to meet this popular, prolific author who was born in the U.S. and who has lived much of her adult life in France. If you read this message and know more than this about Susie Morgenstern's U.S. appearances this spring, please do send this information to CCBC-Net during an announcement time (end/beginning of the month); but if you find out something else between announcement times, please send the information directly to me, so I can relay it to colleagues who are already especially interested in meeting and hearing her.
ABOUT SUSIE MORGENSTERN'S UPC0MING APPEARANCES - In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday, April 28, morning and afternoon, Susie will have appearances in two schools, and there will be a public event at the Alliance Francaise Milwaukee, 1800 East Capitol Drive, at
(tentative) 5:30 PM. She will speak in both English and French. For details about Susie Morgenstern's Milwaukee itinerary, you're welcome to contact Ms. Anne Herisson from Alliance Francaise/Milwaukee anneh at afmilwaukee.org or through the Alliance Francaise Website http://www.afmilwaukee.org
The events in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are scheduled on Saturday, April 29, in the afternoon and will be at the Alliance Francaise Minneapolis. For information see http://www.afmsp.org/
Ms. Anne-Ammanuelle Grossi of the French consulate in Chicago is organizing Susie Morgenstern's U.S. Upper Midwest tour. In Chicago, Ms. Morgenstern will be speaking to students only, and as far as we know now, the events are closed to the public.
ABOUT SUSIE MORGENSTERN and BOOKS SHE'S WRITTEN FOR CHILDREN - For information in French, see http://susie.morgenstern.free.fr/siteweb/ and http://www.prix-chronos.org/auteurs/morgenstern.htm
In 2000 Ms. Morgenstern was France's nominee for the prestigious IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Award for the literary excellence of the body of her work. The HCA Award is the Children's Literature equivalent of the Nobel Award for Adult Literature.
Susie Morgenstern is prolific and popular in France, where she frequently speaks with children, as well as touring in other European nations, as well. American readers limited to English have had little chance to read most of Susie Morgenstern's books published in French and so popular in France with young readers.
I've appreciated Author Susie Morgenstern ever since reading her novel
"It's Not Fair!" published in English in the U.S. by Viking in 1983.
Viking published an English language translation of another novel
"Secret Letters from 0 to 10" in the U.S. in 1998; and for publishing this fine book in English Viking was named the 1999 Batchelder Honor Book publisher.
In 2000 Ms. Morgenstern's book "Joker" published in France won the prestigious French Prix Searchers. After Viking Press published it as
"A Book of Coupons" in English in 2002, that American publisher again won a Batchelder Honor Book distinction. "A Book of Coupons" was named the 2004 U.S. IBBY Honour Book for Translation; for that reason the U.S. edition was exhibited with other Honour Books during the IBBY Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, and subsequently in other nations.
You'll find CCBC-Net commentary about "Secret Letters from 0 - 10" and
"A Book of Coupons" by locating the CCBC-Net Batchelder Award discussions during 1999 and 2002 in CCBC-Net archives http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/ccbc net/archives.asp
