We just heard that Lita’s next release, Born to Be Giants: How Baby Dinosaurs Grew to Rule the World, is a 2010 Junior Library Guild selection! The book is on the Roaring Brook/Flash Point spring 2010 list.

Yellowstone Moran is the current (October) Junior Library Guild selection in the Elementary Biography category.

One Thousand Tracings has been selected by Jessica Doyle, the first lady of Wisconsin, (and an advisory committee) as a December 2009 primary pick for Read On Wisconsin! The other picks for December include: Preschool: Old Bear by Kevin Henkes, Intermediate: The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron, Middle School: How To Steal a Dog By Barbara O’Connor, High School: Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

And the board of the Keene Children’s Literature Festival has picked an image from Pennies for Elephants to be on the 2010 Festival Poster!

Lita is speaking at the 2009 festival (October 31st) along with Beth Krommes, Lois Lowry, Katherine Paterson and Jane Yolen.
