Librarian Debbie Nance–one of our Round I judges for Non-Fiction Picture Books–blogs at readerbuzz, where she frequently writes about not only picture books but YA and adult fiction, graphic novels, and various bookish thoughts. She also keeps lists of useful book blogs and library blogs.
Debbie recently reviewed Cybils NFPB nominee Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring the Earth to Life, by Molly Bang and Penny Chisholm. This vividly-illustrated book talks about photosynthesis, and how the sun's energy is connected to all the plant and animal life on earth. Debbie road-tested the book with a group of children, who almost universally gave it high ratings:
"The children liked the bright pictures and the interactive way the text began."
