This Thursday I’m giving an online lecture for the Finnish Institute of Children’s Literature, with the title: “Factual magic: research on nonfiction picturebooks.” #Picturebooks #Nonfiction #NonfictionPicturebooks #Children’sLiterature #OnlineLecture #OpenLecture #IntroductoryLecture
Cover of "Dark Emperor & Other Poems of the Night" featuring an owl by an illustrated moonlit background, by Joyce Sidman and Rick Allen.
What happens in nature at night?
From owls to moths, spiders, efts, and bats, poems tell the night stories of creatures in the forests and woodlands. Informational sidebars link poetry to facts and science!

Nacho Anaya, the inventor of nachos, dressed in white shirt and brown tie, holds a plate of nachos and smiles at the reader. Illustration by Oliver Dominguez
Latino USA has done a great podcast about Nacho Anaya & #nachos. For everyone writing #NonFiction, it's also an important reminder that unless you are doing primary research you can get things terribly wrong--even Google did. https://buff.ly/3PuyZnz #kidlit #picturebooks #nonfictionpicturebooks
Bounce: A Scientific History of Rubber, by @sarahalbee.bsky.social, takes a fascinating and unique look at rubber through historical and scientific lenses. I will definitely be adding it to my library. #nonfiction #nonfictionpicturebooks thelatebloomersbookblog.blogspot.com/2024/11/boun...
Educator friends! Check out Patricia Newman's blog on how to connect STEM and Language Arts! Author Tory Christie and I posted a lesson plan to teach Spacial Awareness using "One Small Koala on the Big Blue Earth"! #stemforkids #nonfictionpicturebooks #childrensbookillustration
A marvelous course. I'm working on Lesson 7: Emotional Arcs. I still have more research to do, but Kirsten lays out the process and suggests ways to organize all those facts.
