Editorial: Joyful, Bright, and Deep (November/December 2025)
Earlier this fall, I was able to see Hamilton on Broadway, with Leslie Odom Jr., thrillingly, reprising his role of Aaron Burr. I will forever associate Odom with my unforgettable experience of accepting the Mentor Award on behalf of The Horn Book at The Carle Honors Benefit Gala in fall...
Editorial: What Do YOU Think? (September/October 2025)
I’m generally a fan of ambiguous stories. As satisfying as it can be to have narrative closure, or to reread for the hundredth time a book you know is a favorite and won’t suddenly shift out from under you, it can also be weirdly comforting to reach the conclusion of...
Editorial: How Did We Get Here? (July/August 2025)
Horn Book readers are a particularly savvy and wide-ranging bunch: historically and primarily librarians, plus authors and illustrators, publishing professionals, booksellers, academics, teachers, students, families. “Children’s literature enthusiasts,” as we say, and it’s always interesting to hear backstories about people’s entry into this group. Mine was via childhood reading and...
Editorial: Stranger than Fiction (May/June 2025)
One year ago, we were putting the finishing touches on our special issue highlighting “Our Centennial” during a yearlong celebration of The Horn Book Magazine’s hundredth anniversary. If you haven’t seen it recently (or at all), please check it out; commemorative copies are still available for purchase, and you’ll find...
Editorial: The Horn Book and... (March/April 2025)
We’ve retired the HB100 horn logo (HB200, here we come!), and I am a fan of designer Denise Maldonado’s digital illustration, above, with its similarly eye-catching graphic appeal. I read the image as: “The Horn Book and…” It is a theme that serendipitously runs throughout this issue of the magazine....
Editorial: Somewhat Unusual (January/February 2025)
It was an especially busy, unusually in-person end of 2024 for the Horn Book. Following appreciative receipt of the Mentor Award at the Carle Honors Benefit Gala in NYC, we spent time at the sixteenth annual Boston Book Festival. A road trip to Western Massachusetts led to the R. Michelson...
Editorial: All Is Calm (November/December 2024)
Exactly when is it “all calm,” amidst a soon-to-be bustling fall and winter holiday season and a fraught and consequential national election? For me, for a moment, there’s great calm in looking at this issue’s peaceful cover art, by Kerilynn Wilson, from One Foggy Christmas Eve. During this time of...
Editorial: Some Magazine! (September/October 2024)
For this centennial-year entry, with its mini-theme of middle grade, the Horn Book editors put our heads together to brainstorm cover art. We came up with a few ideas, in conjunction with our designers, and even mocked them up. And then came Shoshana Flax’s suggestion of Charlotte and friends —...
Editorial: An Honor Indeed (July/August 2024)
The July/August issue of the Magazine is always tricky, logistically, as it goes to press early and then sits and waits for its close-up on the morning after the Newbery-Caldecott-Legacy Awards Banquet at ALA Annual. By the time you’re reading this, hopefully you will have joined us at booth 1638...
Editorial: Bertha's Chair? (May/June 2024)
Soon after his (semi)-retirement, Roger Sutton met me on the steps of Simmons University, where our offices were located, to hand off a chair. Not just any chair: Bertha’s chair, which had belonged to the Horn Book’s founder, Bertha Mahony Miller. It sat in Roger’s office, too rickety for people...
