We interrupt this hiatus to...

Forgive me for being self-congratulatory, but I can't resist sharing a bit of good news. I just found out (belatedly) that Maggie's Monkeys is included in The Best Children's Books of the Year 2010 from the Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College.

I'm honored and excited for it to be among some truly great books for children in the Under 5 age category.

Parents, if you're looking for book recommendations, this is a good place to find some wonderful books. If I do say so myself. The lists are available online.

(Okay, so I admit it: I'm a bit bummed that they got my name wrong.)
