And a general Happy Holidays to those of you who aren't in to that sort of thing.

Robert's Snow auction is GO!

I almost forgot to post that my snowflake is currently up for bid at the Robert's Snow auction. Here's a picture of it again. Bidding ends December 7th.

I should have blogged about this a good while ago. It's been a busy fall. But The True Meaning of Smekday received a shockingly good review in the New York Times Book Review a few weeks ago. I hope that link is still good–it didn't work for me yesterday.

Also, I'm proud to say that The True Meaning of Smekday and Pssst! have been appearing on some Year's Best-type lists lately. Here's a possibly incomplete list:

Pssst!
-Top Ten Book Sense Autumn 2007 Children's Picks
-Amazon Top 10 Editors' Picks: Picture Books
-A Best Book of the Year by the Miami Herald
-A Kirkus Reviews Best Children’s Book of 2007
Smekday
-New York Public Library Best Books of 2007
-School Library Journal Best of 2007

Okay, enough of me.
