A2: Children’s Lit

On her Jumping the Candlestick blog, Deborah Diesen interviews Carolyn Reed Barritt, a children’s book author and illustrator who lives in Ann Arbor during the winter months: “When The Day the Dragon Danced came out I had a reading at Nicola’s Books in Ann Arbor and did a school visit and I realized how bad a case of stage fright I have. It’s pretty pathetic that a room full of 6 year olds can give me the shakes. When my own books get published I’ll have to decide whether or not I do any more appearances.” [Source]
