#PictureBookMonth Theme: Dinosaurs :|: Read How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? by Jane Yolen #literacy

Yolen has written more than 200 books for children and adults. Dubbed by Newsweek “the Hans Christian Andersen of America,” Yolen’s idea folder bulges with new stories to write. She prides herself on juggling as many as ten stories, books, poems, and songs at once, and compares her work habits to those of a mule train driver: “I hitch 24 horses up to my wagon, crack the whip, and if one dies along the way, I cut it out of the traces and move on.” [Excerpted from my Jane Yolen profile.]
