About Me

My photo
DaNae
I work as a librarian at a K-6 elementary school. I see over 900 students a week. During which I wheedle, coax, and cajole them into believing that there is nothing better for their intellectual growth, mental health, personal enjoyment, future earning potential, and complextion than a steady diet of reading whatever excites them. I am pretty much incapable of carrying on a conversation that is not in some way related to children’s literature. I detest social functions which might involve me making small talk with someone who has never heard of Mo Willems, Jon Scieszka, Lois Lowry, or Jane Yolen. I’ve started this blog in an attempt to carry on the conversations I would like to have at parties, even if I do just end up talking to myself.
