Blowing the Horn: Postscript
Susan Cooper. Photo: Tsar Fedorsky. I’ve been here before. Long ago, in October 1974, when I was thirty-eight years old, the handsome fiftieth-anniversary issue of The Horn Book Magazine ended with a little two-page tribute from me. It was titled “A Love Letter to the Horn Book.” And it did...

Blowing the Horn: The Hope Machine
I sat down today to write about hope, but the truth is that we live in a fractured and fragile time, and it can be hard to feel hopeful, even with regard to children’s literature. Here, where I sit in Atlanta, Georgia, the state legislature is poised to curtail and...
Blowing the Horn: The Things That Matter

Blowing the Horn: the Benevolence of Crickets
As a wide-eyed debut author in the century before this one, I had a kind of breathless regard for The Horn Book Magazine. It was partly the trim size, which somehow gave it a booklike heft and purpose. It was also the infrequency of its appearances — just six times...
Blowing the Horn: The Gold Issue: (and why a glow-in-the-dark Horn Book is NOT a good idea)
It was a glistening gift that sparked an unforgettable celebration. In 2019, as the Coretta Scott King Book Awards approached their fiftieth anniversary, I called Horn Book Editor in Chief Roger Sutton with an idea: to create a commemorative issue solely devoted to the history, legacy, and future of the...
