In Comes April
We are heading up to San Francisco this morning. I’ll be tweeting from Wondercon: @bonnyglen if you’re interested.
A few links before I hit the road:
• {national poetry month, HUZZAH!} » [fiction, instead of lies]
Tanita gives us a lovely roundup of National Poetry Month doings around the kidlitosphere—and a really lovely poem to boot.
• “How To Steal Like An Artist (And 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me)” by Austin Kleon
• Hula Hoop Rug | Easy Crafts for Kids — Quick Arts and Craft Ideas — Kids’ Crafts | FamilyFun
And there have been some truly moving tributes to the great Diana Wynne Jones this week. Dogsbody is my favorite of her books—please don’t miss the essay on that gorgeous novel in Noel Perrin’s A Child’s Delight. (More importantly, please don’t miss the book itself.)

I can’t even read tributes about DWJ yet. The short blog post I wrote through tears, and felt distinctly geeky, but — Geeks R U, basically. Thanks for collecting them all here; I will read them… eventually.
