Another Local Star
Barbara Kerley, the award-winning Humboldt County children's book author, added another kudo to her resume (which already includes a Caldecott Honor, among other awards)—a starred review from Publisher's Weekly for her latest: One World, One Day.

Boing Boing Baby!
Wicked Plants by local author Amy Stewart is on Boing Boing.

Here's a photo of the book launch party we held on May 2.
