Words That Start With B has been getting some blog love lately! Rob Ford may be the new mayor of Toronto*, but I am still finding reasons to smile. Here are three:

A few weeks back, I did this interview with the lovely and charming Rachelle Delaney, author of the award-winning The Ship of Lost Souls and it’s recently released sequel, The Lost Souls of Island X. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading about her plucky child pirates, get thee to a bookstore!

Words That Start With B also got a thumbs up from children’s literature advocate and creative multi-tasker Laura Fabiani at Library of Clean Reads. Her blog is an excellent resource for readers, writers, and lovers of children’s literature. Read her review here.

Lastly, one of my favourite kids lit bloggers, Shelf Elf, had these nice things to say about the book. Shelf Elf is a hardworking reader, reviewer, AND teacher whose breadth of knowledge in the field of children’s literature is unmatched. I am thrilled to be featured on her blog!
