Nobody deserves this award more than Lee. His contributions to children's poetry are enormous--both his own poems and his promotion of poets and poetry. We love ya, Lee!

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
Lee, this honor is much deserved. You have done so much to promote the love
and importance of poetry.
And how appropriate that it will be presented at a luncheon at the NCTE
conference in Philadelphia next November.  (Lee is a native Pennsylvanian!)
Congratulations, Lee!

Hello, again, everyone ~
               I don't usually post messages about a book that I have read
(there would be too many posts!) but I want everyone to know about this
little charmer -- The Rights of the Reader, by Daniel Pennac, translated by
Sarah Adams, with illustrations and a forward by Quentin Blake, published by
Candlewick.  I've had so much fun reading this and sharing passages aloud
with anyone who was within shouting distance (following rule 9).  Readers
will appreciate this small volume. I think every reader has his/her favorite
book about reading.  This one is now high on my list.

Yes, great book, Carole! In case it sounds familiar, it looks like a new
translation from the French of "Comme un roman" which I think was first
published in English in 1994 in Canada by Coach House Press as "Better Than
Life," translated by David Homel. Homel, like Adams, is an award-winning
translator. I'm sure I've seen the rights of the reader as a poster, too,
but it's been a while. Here are Pennac's rights of the reader on their own
(translator unknown):
