I sincerely hope this book is well done and
wonder who the U.S. publisher will be.

Paul McCartney writes children's book

-------------------------------------------------
LOS ANGELES, March 17 (UPI) -- British rocker
Paul McCartney is the latest celebrity to pen a
children's book, MSNBC reported Wednesday.
Following on the heels of Madonna and Ray Romano,
McCartney is working on "High in the Clouds," a
book about two squirrels and a frog who try to
rescue animals endangered by urban development,
MSNBC said.
Co-written by Philip Ardagh and illustrated by
Geoff Dunbar, "High in the Clouds" is being
published in the United Kingdom by Faber and
Faber, but no U.S. publisher has been announced.
One publishing industry insider told MSNBC's The
Scoop column: "This will be a hot property. Even
if the book is awful, it will sell like hotcakes.
Because he's Paul McCartney, he's almost
guaranteed to get on all the talk shows to
promote it, and what politically correct, baby
boomer parents wouldn't want their children -- or
their grandchildren -- to read a book by a former
Beatle?"

Future Trends in Youth Services - See http://www.wmrls.org/ce/notes/trends/
Dear Deborah,
About a year ago, I posed the very same question to our
PUBYAC List and received a wealth of information. My goal was twofold:
to conduct a workshop for youth services librarians and school library media
specialists on this topic and to write an indepth article on my research
(combined with the feedback that I received from colleagues). I succeeded
with my first goal and am still working on the latter one. Above is the
link to the topics that I discussed as a part of my program.
Another fun angle is to share kids predictions of libraries
of the future. Be sure to take a look at the Pembroke School (United
Kingdom) website on this topic:
http://www.pembroke.school-library.co.uk/libraries-of-the-future.html
I hope that this is helpful.
Sincerely,
Janet Eckert

Hi, here are the responses I have had so far in my search for outstanding
bilingual books.
Lectorum Publications is my primary ordering source for Spanish language and
bilingual materials. You can browse their site at www.lectorum.com.
For quality titles, check for winners of the Pure Belpre Award. The Pura
Belpré Award, established in 1996, is presented to a Latino/Latina writer
and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms and celebrates the Latino
cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children,
published in the United States or Puerto Rico.
Good luck!

Turtleback (a prebound division of Demco) has a good selection of
bilingual titles. Although most of the titles are prebound, a number of
them are regular hardcover; the catalog does note which are which.

Brenda, I make no claims that all of the books on the list are
_outstanding_, but some of them are--see
http://www.tiffinsen.lib.oh.us/youthservices2/bilingualbib.htm
for the
bilingual [Spanish-English] titles in our library. (Sorry the list doesn't
include publishing info, etc.--it's just intended to get our patrons
started on their hunt.) Purchase them from BWI--they have reviews and
lists that will help a lot--help you sort out the good ones from the
serviceable. http://www.bwibooks.com Also
Criticas (journal) reviews
bilingual children's titles.
Two vendors I would recommend are Mariuccia Iaconi in San Francisco
www.mibibook.com and Libros Sin Fronteras.
Both have good catalogs.
Isabel Schon has published bibliographies and has columns in Booklist
and is respected in this field. Criticas which comes with SLJ gives good
reviews. We have a Hispanic Resource Center and use these for selection.
Mariuccia just does children's materials which is very helpful when you
are getting started.

Hi Brenda,
We are also starting a bilingual and Spanish collection. Our Collection
Development manager is primarily using Criticas which is published by
Publisher's Weekly. It reviews adult and juvenile material. However, we too
are looking for other sources of material so if you could e-mail me a
compilation that would be wonderful.

I have a customer looking for books appropriate to share with 2-3
year-olds regarding the theme "It Takes a Village/It Takes a
Congregation". The customer is open to variations on the theme as
long
as the story shows more than just one or two individuals raising a
child.
She is also looking for a song to play for the entire congregation.
She is already using Raffi's "It Takes a Village" from his "Let's
Play"
CD.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Alison
