Thank you, Ruth Gordon, for your recent post that is an eloquent start to this month's discussion:
*Losses and Legacies. *The children's literature world sustained too many losses in May 2012: Maurice Sendak, Jean Craighead George, Leo Dillon, Ellen Levine.Each of these four notable creators of books for youth did work that was singular and lasting.
Although we initially proposed focusing on Maurice Sendak and Jean Craighead George the first part of the month and Leo Dillon and Ellen Levine the second, we've since thought a free-flowing discussion would be bette,r so there are no constratins as you reflect on their books, their impact, and their legacies.
