FINISHED:
Marcus, Leonard S. (2012). Show me a story!: Why picture books matter: Conversations with 21 of the world's most celebrated illustrators. Somerville, MA: Candlewick.
[Fascinating read for ANYONE interested in children's literature - particularly children's picture books.  Interesting that most of the authors interviewed here never had any idea that they would end up writing/illustrating children's books.  A majority seemed to start out in graphic design and ended up falling into making books for kids. Some amazing names talking here: Mo Willems, Maurice Sendak, William Steig, TANA HOBAN (!)...]


STARTED:
Stead, Rebecca. (2012). Liar & spy. New York: Wendy Lamb/Random House.

[Reading the ARC that I got at ALA last weekend!]
