Facebook is fun, that's where you'll find the latest news: photos of school visits, my recent projects, children's art inspired by my books, and random notes about ideas and children's books.
Grace Lin asked me a silly question, and she got a silly answer! Watch the video here:

Scott Wachtler of the Bulletin Newspapers wrote a nice article about The Grand
Old Tree being named one of the Top Ten books recommended by ReadBoston for
holiday gift giving.

Caught on tape!
My neighbor Glenn Williams is a musician, songwriter, DJ, community arts activist AND the host of It's All About Arts on BNN-TV here in Boston. We had a fun conversation when I appeared on the show January 23.
Glenn asked me how I became a children's book writer. I explained that I really wanted to be a children's book illustrator, so I began by sending postcards of my artwork to art directors. In the following clips I talk about how I started writing as well.
Mary
doesn't understand the question.

too Sharp" (20 seconds)

Well, there you have it! Thanks, Glenn! I had a wonderful time. Find out more about Glenn and Janice and the Fabulous Rebecca at It's All about Arts!
This is the snowflake I created for the 2007 Robert's Snow Benefit for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. It is Kepley, the character in my new book The Nutcracker Doll. Thank you to everyone who bid on snowflakes to support Cancer research!
Read Elaine Magliaro's interview about my work and my snowflake on her fabulous blog, Wild Rose Reader.
Elaine shares her love and joy of poetry on Wild Rose Reader. Elaine has an unerring eye for beauty, and is generous in sharing her favorites with us. Reading beautiful poetry is like receiving a bouquet of flowers. Visit Elaine's blog and see for yourself! Thank you, Elaine.
