Trailer: The Library of the Early Mind

I have blogged about Library of the Early Mind, a feature-length documentary film about children’s literature directed by Edward J. Delaney and produced by Edward J. Delaney and Steven Withrow, several times (learn more about the film here). Co-producer Steven Withrow has posted enticing tidbits of video from interviews on the production blog since last June; all of which are on the who's-who list of best children's authors, illustrators, editors and publishers.

The first screening of Library of the Early Mind will be held on October 19 from 5:30 - 8:00 pm. at Harvard, free and open to the public. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers and featured authors and is being offered by the Askwith Education Forum which is part of  the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

But, for those of us who are not able to attend, the first trailer for the film has also been released and can be found here. It's just enough to leave you salivating for more! However, there seems to be the hint of a promise of more trailers to come, so that will have to do for now.

A Peek Into My New Building/Office

My classroom in the new School of Education I am so lucky! This week, the fall semester started at The College of William & Mary and the first group of students entered a brand new School of Education ! The picture above is of the classroom in which I am teaching. It is so beautiful. There is so much light and space and everything is new. Including the technology. The picture to the right is the podium from which I can choose to use the computer, document camera, VCR, or television, all at the touch of a button. Let me tell you, it is a wondrous thing, especially when I have had access to none of it in the old building (and when you teach on a campus that is over 300 years old , "old" takes on a new meaning:-). My office, however, is still in need of work. I did get pictures hung on the wall though. Does anyone know from which picturebook I took these pictures? And, I did get most of my picturebooks shelved.  But, as I said, I still have a lot of work to do! O

Harry Potter Prize Pack Give Away!

I am a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter series! I have so many wonderful memories around the books over the years. I remember that the talk about the first book really didn't get started until the second book was out. I bought the first book in paperback at the airport and started reading it on the way home from a trip. I was hooked and couldn't wait for the second book. By the time the third book came out, the midnight release parties started at bookstores across the country. The news carried footage of the unexpected long lines of children and adults waitin g in line to buy the book. My family was getting ready to move and there were boxes all over the house. So, I was sitting in the floor as I watched the television and tears started running down my cheeks when I saw the lines. Not in my lifetime had I ever seen anything like it. Children actually waiting in line for hours, dressed up as their favorite character, to buy a book . This is a reading teacher's dream!!! My son w
