Your new blog looks fantastic. It will be a big help in finding those hard-to-find wonderful nonfiction books that always seem to be hiding at Barnes & Noble. And also inspiring. Thanks for doing this.

Can't wait to link this on my blog and pass it along to the school librarians and teachers in the area (just let me know when).
This is a great link for kids and those of us that want to learn and read about this kind of non-fiction.
This is very exciting. Can't wait to read more!

Amazing how much you can see if you really look. The photo made me think of wandering through the French countryside on a lazy summer day. Truly inspiring.

Hey, great new blog! As a nonfiction writer (science & medicine) I'll be checking in regularly.

Great site. I look forward to revisiting. I especially like your first post. I did an essay at my Pigeon Post blog a few months ago (You See But You Do Not Observe) at Through the Magic Door on what books parents can use to encourage the development of observation among young children. I would be interested in any suggestions you might have.
