Are We There Yet? at Simmons University and Boston Reads Comics at the Boston Public Library
Shoshana Flax: "Are We There Yet?" was the theme of this year's Children’s Literature Summer Institute at Simmons University. I got to be there for Friday evening and most of Saturday, and heard different speakers consider different answers to the title question. Gregory Maguire introduced the Institute’s topic and reflected...
Horn Book Reminiscences: Horn Book Editors I've Known and Loved Before
As Simmons University celebrates its quasquicentennial, the Horn Book its first hundred years, and the Simmons graduate program in children’s literature its golden fiftieth birthday, I welcome this moment to thank all the Horn Book editors who have been teachers, mentors, and friends. The Horn Book has had only eight...
Carle Honors and Uri Shulevitz (1935–2025)
Look what came Out of the Box: What a thrill to receive in the mail this gorgeous art from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art: Last fall we were co-honorees for the Carle Honors with Uri Shulevitz, who sadly passed away earlier this week. Shulevitz wasn’t in attendance,...

Horn Book Reminiscences: A Boston Publisher Looks Back

Throughout the decades, the Horn Book has noted trends, published thoughtful and critical articles, presented eye-opening and personal profiles of...
Blowing the Horn: A Gathering of Excellence
M. T. Anderson: The first time I went to the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards, I was overwhelmed. I was a young man with only a couple of novels out, which had sold only a handful of copies, mainly to wincing relatives. This was back when YA was still considered the...

Three Editors in Chief: A Conversation
Earlier this year, the Horn Book's eighth (and current) editor in chief, Elissa Gershowitz, spoke with longtime editors in chief numbers six and seven: Anita Silvey (from 1985–1995) and Roger Sutton (from 1996–2021). Currently an adjunct professor at Simmons University, Silvey is an author (Everything I Need to Know I...

The memory of my first trip to the Horn Book offices is both hazy and vividly clear. I had to do a bit of detective work to figure out the date, but I’ve deduced that it must have been in July of 1991. I’d gone with editor Susan Hirschman to...
