Found another great author interview just up on Cynthia Leitich
Smith's website.
that might be of interest. Some of you might realize that Toni is a
Library Media Specialist in Maine -- and she will be included in a
forthcoming book -- THE LATEST AND GREATEST CHILDREN'S BOOK
AUTHORS/ILLUSTRATORS. Her first two books are certainly indicators
that she will be a author to watch in the next few years.
======================================================================
THE SEA CHEST by Toni Buzzeo, illustrated by Mary GrandPre (Dial, 2002).
First-time author Buzzeo is paired with HARRY POTTER illustrator
GrandPre in a book that earned an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award by
lovingly and poetically capturing the stirring magic of a foundling babe
who becomes a treasured sister. Maita says: "I longed for a time I might
not be the only child the craggy island knew." The time is now.
Spectacular, musical, and deeply affecting. CLSCLR HIGHEST
RECOMMENDATION for art and text. Ages 4-up. Read The Story Behind The
Story: Toni Buzzeo on THE SEA CHEST at:
