Children’s LiteratureFestival Returns

The Eighteenth Annual Spring Festivalof Children’s Literature at FSU, featuringa lineup of award-winning authors andillustrators, will be Friday and Saturday,April 27 and 28.

Each year, a “packed house” oflibrarians, educators, parents andstudents come to the FSU campus toshare their love of children’s literatureand to learn more about the successfulways to share that love with children.

Reading ability, so important tosuccess, can be proportionately relatedto desire and enjoyment. The morechildren enjoy reading, the more theyread, and the better readers theybecome. In the “share and learn”atmosphere of the Literature Festival,adults, who direct children’s learning,interact first-hand with authors andillustrators who bring characters to life,and inspire children to read.

The agenda includes small groupsessions and large group presentationsoffered in a personal and relaxedenvironment. Topics range from particu-lar application, such as using literacycenters in the school curriculum toenhance instruction, to the moretangible, like providing positive genderrole models in children’s literature.

The program offers diversity, withlarge and small group presentations andmany opportunities for one-to-oneinteraction with colleagues and thefeatured authors and illustrators. Anextensive book selection is available forpurchase, and there will be opportuni-ties to get books autographed. All ofthese opportunities are set in FSU’sprime location, the Western Marylandmountains in the spring.

Event headliners are Henry Cole,Pamela Edwards, Robert Sabuda, andSusan Wojciechowski. The theme for the2001 Festival weekend will be “TheMagic of Paper, Pictures and Words.”

Cole is an illustrator who started his

career while study-ing forestry atVirginia Tech. Thislove of the outdoorsand the observationsthat were requiredfor his major hashelped him to bettervisualize andillustrate thecharacters within his books. He has beenworking with Pamela Edwards since1993. He has been an illustrator forbooks such as “Moosetache,” “Barefoot”and “Some Smug Slug,” which wasselected as one of the top books of 1996by the “School Library Journal” and“Children’s Literature.”

Edwards’ love of reading, combinedwith her interest inchildren, haspropelled her intowriting. Alwaysencouraged by herfather as a child toread, Edwards firstbegan writing afterattending achildren’s literatureconference with

Cole, her future colleague. Her books,which include “Some Smug Slug,”“Roar!” and “Four Famished Foxes andFosdyke,” illustrate her humorouswriting style and incorporate lessonswith each story.

Sabuda is an award-winning author-illustrator, bestknown for his pop-up books, whichinclude “The PaperDragon,” “TheChristmas Alpha-bet,”“TutankehmanesGift” and “KwanzaaCelebration.” Hisoutlook on life ismuch different frommany other people, including thequestion of his career choice. Otherauthors feel that they are fulfilling aneed for self-expression while enrichingthe experience of future generations,while Sabuda is simply fulfilling theneed to eat.

Wojceichowski,award-winningauthor, mother andwife, brilliantlyincorporates herfamily into herwriting. Picturebooks such as “TheMiracle of JonathanToomey” havecaptured the KateGreenaway Medal

and ALA Notable Book of the YearAward. Her chapter books appeal toyoung adolescence and incorporate awriting style that is heart warming andenlightening.

In addition to the adult activities,The R. Margaret Hamilton Children’sHour for children aged 4 to 13 will beFriday, April 27, beginning at 4 p.m.Age-specific workshops are presented bythe authors in which they share their

work with children, as well as theprocess of writing, illustrating and theenjoyment it can bring. Registration isrequired for the sessions and can bearranged by contacting Andy or Bruce atx4420.

The festival was the brainchild of FSUProfessor William Bingman as he lookedfor a way to honor two colleagues, bothof whom held children’s literature as anumber one love. Now in its 19th year,what began as a small gathering ofchildren’s literature enthusiasts hasblossomed to over 350 eager partici-pants.

Admission to the Festival is byregistration only, and space is limited.Advance registration is required, andpre-orders are available for books thatwill be featured at the Festival. TheFestival is administered by the FSUFoundation Inc. and sponsored by theFSU Department of Educational Profes-sions and the Children’s LiteratureCentre. For information, contactBingman at x4420.
