it’s always soothing to be around folks with whom i can relax and even play a bit.<\/p>\n

play is serious business to me. play means a quality of curiosity, openness, courage and innocence. today i feel like i found some more people to play with.<\/p>\n

it was a conference for children’s book bloggers.\u00a0 all talking about diversity! aaaaaaaaaaa!!! it was like an awesome 4 square game where no one misses the ball or\u00a0 a really long jump rope run where you and the rope and the rope turners are in effortless sync.<\/p>\n

i love it when that happens. play.<\/p>\n

\"twinas\"here are some of the fabulous people on the playground…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the twinjas<\/a><\/p>\n

Twinja Book Reviews hopes to open the discussion about diversity in YA, NA, MG as well as Science Fiction & Fantasy themed books. part of what i adored about these women, was their true openness and willingness to take risks!<\/p>\n

there was nathalie mvondo at multiculturism rocks! cultural diversity in children’s books.<\/a><\/p>\n

and editor laura atkins <\/a><\/p>\n

and author zetta elliott<\/a><\/p>\n

and librarian edith campbell at crazy quiltedi<\/a><\/p>\n

and i ran into mira reisberg at children’s book academy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"zettai want to play some more please. i’ve got a children’s book revolution in my mind and it feels like a perfectly round, red rubber ball just waiting to hit the ground!<\/p>\n
