Editorial: Some Magazine! (September/October 2024)
For this centennial-year entry, with its mini-theme of middle grade, the Horn Book editors put our heads together to brainstorm cover art. We came up with a few ideas, in conjunction with our designers, and even mocked them up. And then came Shoshana Flax’s suggestion of Charlotte and friends —...
Editorial: An Honor Indeed (July/August 2024)
The July/August issue of the Magazine is always tricky, logistically, as it goes to press early and then sits and waits for its close-up on the morning after the Newbery-Caldecott-Legacy Awards Banquet at ALA Annual. By the time you’re reading this, hopefully you will have joined us at booth 1638...
Editorial: Bertha's Chair? (May/June 2024)
Soon after his (semi)-retirement, Roger Sutton met me on the steps of Simmons University, where our offices were located, to hand off a chair. Not just any chair: Bertha’s chair, which had belonged to the Horn Book’s founder, Bertha Mahony Miller. It sat in Roger’s office, too rickety for people...
Editorial: Once Upon... (March/April 2024)
This is like no issue of the Horn Book you’ve ever seen. Just look at that cover! The last time we featured photography on the cover was May/June 2016, for our “Collaborations” special issue. Here our centennial mini-theme is “Poetry & Folklore,” with collaborations, serendipitously, running all the way through....
Editorial, First Issue, 2024 (January/February 2024)
At long last: welcome to the very first issue of our second century! The Horn Book Magazine began publication in 1924 (in October, but who’s counting?) as an offshoot of The Bookshop for Boys and Girls in Boston, one of the first children’s bookstores in the country. No one can...
Editorial: Centennial Eve (November/December 2023)
“Twas the eve of our hundredth / and all through these pages / we’ve been Blowing the Horn / for Fine Books for All Ages!” Shoshana Flax’s parodies are far superior (see Holiday High Notes on page 10; and her Parodies for Charities side-gig). But it’s hard for any of...
Editorial: What Else Is New? (September/October 2023)
A few things have changed for the Horn Book since our last issue when Martha V. Parravano, “Keeper of the Horn Book Flame” and the one-and-only recipient of our MVP Award, announced her (semi)retirement; read, re-read, and have a good cry over her July/August editorial, “What a Gift That Is.”...
Editorial: "What a Gift That Is" (July/August 2023)
Greetings, fellow inhabitants of the world of children’s literature! And welcome to our annual special issue covering the ALA Awards — the umpteenth one I’ve helped shepherd through, and my last. Here you’ll find the usual lineup of acceptance speeches, profiles of award winners, and our own analysis of the...
Editorial: Book Lives (May/June 2023)
The May/June issue of the Horn Book is customarily our themed “special issue,” in which we explore one topic in depth and from many angles. There are special issues and special special issues, and this one falls into the latter category. “Diverse Books: Past, Present, and Future” is the conversation...
Editorial: Pedals to the Medals (March/April 2023)
Sometime after the start of the pandemic, and after we were allowed to go back outside to the city playgrounds, my younger son began to ride his bicycle without training wheels. First the learning and then the doing became a bright spot of fresh air and relative freedom, slightly expanding...
