Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

Silver Seeds
Written by Paul Paolilli and Dan Brewer, illustrated by Minnesotans Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher, this is a collection of brief acrostic poems that introduce children to features of nature including shadows, trees, insects, clouds, sun, moon, rain, etc. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2002.
