How Editing Children’s Books Is Like Baseball

Nonfiction Baseball Picturebook

By Sara E. Hoffmann, School & Library Series Managing Editor

I’m often asked about my job editing children’s books. There are many ways to describe my day-to-day, but I really think the best analogy is that editing books is like baseball...

One of my favourite memories of holiday stories as a child is of listening to traditional folktales from what I'd call "the olden days" with their simple but heartwarming narratives and happy endings. "A Chanukah With Mazel" (2016) by Joel Edward Stein, illustrated by Elisa Vavouri, brings those old folktales to mind. Mazel is a cat that the poor artist Misha finds in his barn at Chanukah and grows attached to, sharing with her what little he has in the spirit of the holiday.

While I'll admit that I found the ending a bit rushed, overall this was a sweet, feel-good holiday story and EXACTLY the sort of thing I love sharing with kids at this time of year.

BOOK REVIEW : DICTIONARY FOR A BETTER WORLD - POEMS, QUOTES AND ANECDOTES FROM A TO Z BY IRENE LATHAM & CHARLES WATERS

Thank you Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with the ARC of this book. This book was an amazing experience for me. I rarely read poetry and having seen this book as poetry for kids, I was intrigued and wanted to know more about it. The format is very interesting and the different forms of poems in this book gave me a uniquely enjoyable and insightful experience. The way it's written and the themes that are present in the book are very much relatable and irrespective of the age you can enjoy it. The thought-provoking topics and content add to the beauty of it. The creativity that goes into crafting various poetry forms and then collecting them together complemented by information about the type of poem it is and also thoughts from the authors makes the reading experience wonderful. I loved the assembling of the words in their alphabetical order and how they bring forward important life-related topics that are relatable to people of all ages. These poems inspire goodness, zest for life, positive attitude, and awareness to the readers. The concept and the execution of it were excellent. I loved every single moment of reading it and the feelings it elicited in me. This is a definite recommendation for anyone who loves poems and loves social constructs included in the poems. I highly recommend checking it out. I have given it 5 stars and would love to get my hands on a finished copy of the book.

Full review is up on my blog!!
