From the Editor - November 2019

Nov 12, 2019 | Filed in Newsletters

While as far as I’m concerned it’s never too early for peppermint-stick ice cream, I always feel discombobulated reading holiday books before Halloween, but that’s how we get you news of the good new ones in a timely fashion (although as I recall, Christmas books get heavy circulation throughout the year. Still true?). You can see our choices in the November/December issue of the Horn Book Magazine along with lots more: recommended new board books, Gene Luen Yang’s Sutherland Lecture, and Lois Lowry’s remembrance of her dear friend Lee Bennett Hopkins. Enjoy.

From the November 2019 issue of Notes from the Horn Book.
