Horn Book Reminiscences: A Boston Publisher Looks Back
My connection with the Horn Book dates back to the regime of Ethel and Paul Heins. Perhaps because I was so young at the time, it seemed like the Red Sea parted whenever they arrived — always together, inseparable — at any children’s book gathering. Though they were small, tweedy,...
All About Awards
The mini-theme of this issue, part of our HB100 series of mini-themes, is awards — and the Horn Book’s relationship to awards over the past century is a big topic. Throughout the decades, the Horn Book has noted trends, published thoughtful and critical articles, presented eye-opening and personal profiles of...
Blowing the Horn: A Doorway In
To think that I have been reading The Horn Book Magazine for half of its lifetime! As a sophomore at the University at Albany about fifty years ago, I talked my way into a course in children’s literature offered by the graduate school of library science. The professor perched nimbly...
Three Editors in Chief: A Conversation
Earlier this year, the Horn Book's eighth (and current) editor in chief, Elissa Gershowitz, spoke with longtime editors in chief numbers six and seven: Anita Silvey (from 1985–1995) and Roger Sutton (from 1996–2021).

R.I.P. Jill Paton Walsh
We're sad to have lost Jill Paton Walsh yesterday. I only met her once, at a 1990s CLNE gathering at Radcliffe, but Jill was a longtime friend of the Horn Book dating back to the 1970s, when Paul and Ethel Heins were running things here, and they and Jill and...
Editorial: My Friend Susan Bloom (September/October 2019)
I have my own version of the Anthony Browne story Cathie Mercier tells on page 26 in commemorating her great colleague and friend Susan P. Bloom, who died on June 7th at the age of eighty. In my version, it is the summer of 1989 and I am at Boston's...
Pollen in the Wind
By Ann DurellFirst I want to apologize for giving such an embarrassingly fancy title for such a plain little talk. But you know how it is when someone asks you to make a speech. You say "yes" with the comfortable assurance that you will either have been killed in a...
