Please feel free to share children's and young adult literature-related announcement about conferences or other opportunities in the next few days.
Next week, we'll kick off the first of our two discussion topics for April:
*First Half of Month: Art and Artists in Literature for Children and Teens.*From picture books to novels to exemplary non-fiction, the arts are explored and celebrated in myriad ways in literature for children and teens. Among the brand new books we are already excited about here at the CCBC are /Yoko Ono: Collector of Skies /by Nell Beram and Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky (Amulet/Abrams, 2013) and /Etched in Clay: The Life of Dave, Enslaved Potter and Poet /by Andrea Cheng (Lee and Low, 2013).During the first half of April we invite you to share some of your favorite books about art and artists (but not music and musicians---see
the second half of April!).
*Second Half of Month: Music and Musicians in Literature for Children and Teens.//*From picture book renditions of well-known songs to biographies of musicians to explorations of different musical forms and individual compositions, there are many rich and lyrical musical offerings in books for children and teens. Consider books about John Coltrane as an example: Among them are Chris Raschka's playful and brilliant /John Coltrane's Giant Steps /(Atheneum, 2002)/, /about Coltrane's musical composition of that name; Carole Boston Weatherford's delightful and imaginative /Before John Was a Jazz Giant: A Song of John Coltrane /(Henry Holt, 2008), a consideration of young John Coltrane's aural influences; and Gary Golio's informative and artful /Spirit Seeker: John Coltrane's Musical Journey /(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012) , a picture book biography for older readers.During the second half of April, we invite you to turn up the volume on some of your favorite books about music and musicians for children and tee ns.
Throughout the month, we encourage you to consider and include books of poetry on each of themes in recognition of National Poetry Month!
