Book Blogger Appreciation Week--Community!

Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW) has arrived!

And the theme for today is: Community
"While the awards are a fun part of BBAW, they can never accurately represent the depth and breadth of diversity in the book blogging community. Today you are encouraged to highlight a couple of bloggers that have made book blogging a unique experience for you."

For me, the words "blogging" and "community" means my kidlitosphere peeps. I wish so badly that I was going to be at Kidlitcon in Seattle next weekend... I can hardly think of anything I'd rather do than bask in the company of wonderful people who want to talk passionately and intelligently about children's books!

If I were to start listing all the children's book bloggers who have made a difference to my own blogging, it would go on forever. So I shall just give all my co-kidlitophere bloggers a collective "thanks so much for being such a great community!"

If you want to find out more about this thing called "the kidlitosphere," just click through! There is a Yahoo Group, where we ask each other blog questions and chat about our blogging lives, there's the annual conference--"kidlitcon", and a list of member blogs that cover every single aspect of children's books!
