Stony Brook Southampton Children’s Literature Fellows

Thank you for joining me for this seventh excerpt from the interview I did with Emma Walton Hamilton back in January, for the Children’s Book Hub. Besides the myriad other things Emma does, which we have talked about in previous excerpts, she also is director of the Stony Brook Southampton Children’s Literature Conference (which I attended last year, and which I highly recommend), and is involved in the new Children’s Literature Fellows Program at Stony Brook Southampton. As if that weren’t enough, this year she is teaching the picture book workshop at the Children’s Literature Conference. (Note: My Monday blog post featured an interview with a success story from the Children’s Literature Conference, Susan Verde.) In this week’s excerpt of the interview, most of our focus will be on these two programs.
