by Katie Bircher
Jan 13, 2016 | Filed in Blogs

In January's edition of Notes from the Horn Book, I had the honor of talking to author/illustrator Barbara McClintock about her latest picture book, Emma and Julia Love Ballet. (Check out that super-cute picture of Barbara in the ballet studio!) You'll also find:

 

  • more movin' and groovin' picture books
  • preschooler nonfiction about the natural world
  • middle grade historical fiction
  • YA survival adventures
  • plus: Roger weighs in on the 2016 ALA Youth Media Award winners
