Does anyone have any good places to send those people who want to publish
a children's book?  As an elementary media specialist, parents and
friends think I must have some special powers regarding books.  I have
heard that in general publishing companies are more interested in seeing
the story without the illustrations already done, but I am not sure.  Is
there a good book - or a good website - to give these potential authors?

Subject: Do new/attractive books inspire students to read?

I just receive a significant donation (about 1500 books) in brand new
library-processed books to my lmc from a large law firm.  I have been
asked to write an article for the law firm's upcoming newsletter
about the connection between new and attractive books and increasing
literacy. I'm an lms in Central Harlem.  My room is currently filled with
many books that are old and shabby.  Are there any articles that support the
idea that the new attractive books my lmc is receiving will help increase
literacy and/or help invite/inspire children to read.   In the newsletter
article they want me to site sources that support this idea to help build
excitement about this project across the firm.
