ShorElines: Arts Week at a Glance Celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss this week had me reflecting on our own children's book writers and illustrators that have participated in the Tassy Walden Awards: New Voices in Children's Literature. It made me think of how nice it will be to have a spring celebratation with this year's winner and finalists. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 26 and join us at the Blackstone Library in Branford for the 2015 Awards Reception.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.  Check out our Blog and our photo albums on our photographer Judy Barbosa's Smug Mug pages.
