I've shared it under my slides about biography for "un-common core" http://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/2014/09/uncommon-core-youth-services-forum-2014.html. I have also shared it with authors who are writing picture book biographies. <br />You mentioned a "next post" but I didn't see one. You haven't posted for a long time, I hope to see your wonderful posts in the future.Carol Simon Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011967636995998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946109972966431326.post-2016477518898483542014-02-19T16:31:12.757-05:002014-02-19T16:31:12.757-05:00Never heard of that book, but will be sure to chec...Never heard of that book, but will be sure to check it out.

Glad to "meet."<br /><br />Have you read History Makers: A Questioning Approach to Reading & Writing Biographies by Myra Zarnowski and Danny Miller?<br /><br />I'm in the early stages of researching for a PB biography I plan to write. I dug it out from my teaching stuff and reread it to see if anything was useful for me as an adult writer. It has some good stuff in there. The stuff about the "visible author" was especially interesting to me.Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946109972966431326.post-48952849478186509362014-02-18T16:19:50.786-05:002014-02-18T16:19:50.786-05:00Michelle, thanks for checking in.

Always interesting to see different authors' takes on the same subject. Thanks also for sharing the link to your Pinterest resources.Keith Schochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04487459160222497971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946109972966431326.post-39677435378060247452014-02-18T16:16:46.028-05:002014-02-18T16:16:46.028-05:00Thanks for the kind words!

It would be great to pair it with the one you used.<br /><br />In case it's helpful to you and your readers, I maintain a Pinterest board of my favorite Picture Book Bios.<br />http://www.pinterest.com/mcusolito/picture-book-biographies/<br /><br />You'll notice there are some famous people who are represented by multiple bios. Great to read them in pairs, triads, and quads.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing the list of your students favorites.Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946109972966431326.post-57341416986977683512014-02-18T13:03:43.566-05:002014-02-18T13:03:43.566-05:00What a great post!
