Water in the Park

I wrote another picture book. You know, for the little kids. Under Emily Jenkins, my legal name. It is a Brooklyn book. It has super charming and inclusive drawings by Stephanie Graegin. I am quite proud of it. 

The Gender Coverup

Via hollyblack and maureenjohnson, loved this Huffington Post article on gender and book jackets. :

If you are a female author, you are much more likely to get a package that suggests the book is of a lower perceived quality. We’re the high fructose corn syrup of literature, even when our products are the same.

I re-read this book just a couple days ago. It’s beautiful. From Father Bear comes Home by Else Holmund Minarink, art by Sendak. via: harpercollinschildrens:

I am still figuring out things tech-wise here, but this is a little sign I made of a quotation from one of my books. Checking out how it looks on Tumblr. xxoE

This is from the UNYPL tumblr which does, in photographs AND words, just what I try and do in my “NY subway reader” tweets. I have been wanting to go and read John Bellairs.  unypl: On the left she’s reading “The Mummy, The Will And The Crypt,” by John Bellairs. On the right she’s reading to her son “Ribsy,” by Beverly Cleary. The Mummy, The Will And The Crypt: Borrow I Read Ribsy: Borrow I Read

Adored this. Also, by the way, I have made this tumblr and I have big plans to use it. But I am nowhere near up to speed yet. I am still figuring out Pinterest. Eventually, it should get interesting here. Just don’t hold your breath. bartking: Count on Isaac Asimov to have the best business card title ever: ”Natural Resource”

This is me just seeing if I can work the re-blog feature. My office on SLJ. schoollibraryjournal: Where I Work: Emily Jenkins/ E. Lockhart, author of Lemonade in Winter: A Book About Two Kids Counting Money It took me forever to choose the paint color. My old office was a deep, dark pink. I finally picked a color that’s almost the exact shade of the trees outside, but that was unconscious. My favorite thing about my office space is the art. From left to right, top to bottom: An Arthur Rackham print of Jack the Giant Killer, a handwritten note from the characters Duck & Goose (pencil held by by Tad Hills), original art from Toys Go Out by Paul O. Zelinsky, a Zelinsky sketch he gave to me and would probably be shocked that I framed, a Sophie Blackall print from her Etsy shop and original art from Love You When You Whine by Sergio Ruzzier. Also a cardboard apple tree made specially for me by my youngest child. The most essential thing in the picture is the red thermos mug of coffee. The second most essential is the laptop. There’s a couch that’s not in the picture and that’s actually where I usually sit.
