I read Heather's post with interest. I'm wondering, what do you see as t he main obstacles to the use of more "voice" in school and library informat ional non-fiction books? Publishers? Librarians? Teachers? Authors? Others ? Are there ways to overcome these obstacles? Mary Losurewww.marylosure

I am so glad that Lionel brought up the school and library informational nonfiction books... I'd love some discussion on Lionel's question, "How c an they be improved and better used alongside trade books?"
 area that I feel could be improved is voice. A little more voice in some of those tex ts could go a long way towards engaging readers.
