As the owner of a small book store, The Queen Bee in historic downtown Ogden, UT, I'm always excited to connect with other people who love books. There's something about the tactile, verbal, visual, and overall sensual experience of paper and ink that will NEVER be replicated or replaced by an e-reader.

Smithsonian recommendations for kids book is back! I always enjoyed the annual feature -- and was thrilled when my first children's book Generation Fix, made the list. My latest, FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC: THE REMARKABLE STORY OF MARIA ANNA MOZART (Random House/Tricycle) came out in Feb. 2011 and got starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus. The Oregonian called it "a masterpiece." Can it be considered for the list? How? Looking forward to reading more. Liz Rusch Yay! Smithsonian recommendations for kids book is back!
