Today we meet the organizer for our Non-Fiction Picture Books category, Jone MacCulloch:
"Too many books, too little time" is a favorite quote of mine. And yet, as an elementary library media specialist, I have to know something about all books regardless of genre. Lucky me, last year, when I requested the poetry category for Cybils (which I love, love, love) it was full up. I was asked to be on the Non-Fiction Picture Books panel instead. I discovered that I really love this category just as much. The quality and interest in non-fiction books for children of all ages has grown tremendously over the last few years.
I am thrilled to be the organizer of the NFPB category, even though I have big shoes to fill. I have lots to learn but am excited to see what 2009 brings in this category.
I keep two blogs, one for school called Check It Out and one for my personal writing, Deo Writer. I am learning to Twitter. When not teaching or on the computer, I can be found outside, camera in hand. My grandgirls make me laugh along with my husband and two doxies.
Update: Check it out has moved!
