A show of hands. How many of you knew that there was a documentary about Ed Emberley being made called Ed Emberley's Make the World: A Film? Well, the film is on FaceBook and Twitter, in case you'd like to support it. Thanks to Drawn for the link.
Back in 2004 Bill Moyers interviewed Maurice Sendak about WTWTA. I never saw it originally, but the link is available for one and all to see. Thanks to @ABCKristen for the link.
One of my favorite author/illustrators has gone and made herself one of the finest picture book trailers of the year, bar none. This is absolutely fantastic. I just regret I hadn't seen it sooner.
Where she found Brigitte Bardot singing "Bubble Gum" I'll never know. In any case, gonna get me some Pop by Meghan McCarthy when it comes out. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Thanks to Abby (the) Librarian for the link.
Speaking of awesome ladies and their videos, did you know that Laurie Halse Anderson makes a fine documentarian? In this little vid we see the writer's ultimate dream: The writing cottage. Says the description: "Laurie Halse Anderson recounts the conception and building of her writing cottage. The cottage is off-grid and was built to be easy on the environment as well as warm and quiet. It was designed and built for her by her husband, who is a carpenter, and several of his friends."

Ed Emberley is the man! This movie looks like a fitting tribute -- let's hope it wins a Doc Oscar and E.E. gets a well-earned moment on the word stage.

Oh, oh, oh, I am in the throes of serious Cottage Lust! This cannot be good for me... or maybe it can! It's a pleasure just to know that a thing of such beauty and thoughtful utility and love exists in the world. Bliss!
