Saving the best for the last day of Hug A Book Week.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak, which won the Caldecott in 1964.
This book has had a profound effect on me. Every time I think of it, I go back to being a kid, and feeling those warm fuzzies it always gave me. There's just something magical about this book!

Today, we're hugging the graphic novel
Jane, the Fox & Me written by Fanny Britt,
a Quebec playwright, author and translator. She has written a dozen plays (among them Honey Pie, Hôtel Pacifique and Bienveillance) and translated more than fifteen. She has also written and translated several other works of literature. The book is illustrated by one of my current art crushes,
Isabelle Arsenaut.
After reading this book, I realized that I never read
Jane Eye (which is the "Jane" in the title), so I read that, too. So it was a twofor.

Today, I'm posting my art instead of me - I'm not really a "selfie" type person, so it's a little weird for me to keep posting pictures of myself!
Today, it's all about last year's Newberry winner
Flora & Ulysses written by the wonderful
Kate DiCamillo, illustrated by
KC Campbell. This book is so hilarious, it had me laughing out loud the whole time I read it. I mean, a vacuum attacks a squirrel and gives him super powers – what's not to love? And the illustrations are so quirky and fun. Squeaky the squirrel loves it, too, since there aren't a lot of super-hero-squirrel books out there for him to read.

Who are you hugging?
Today, it's one of last year's Caldecott honor books,
Extra Yarn written by
Mac Barnett and illustrated by
Jon Klassen. I could stare at this book for hours!

Have you hugged a book today? Simon and Schuster is celebrating the release of the adorable book
Hug Machine by promoting this week as Hug a Book Week! I have actually hugged books in real life, so this is really nothing new to me, other than the act of posting the photos for the world to see.
So, for every day this week as part of
#HugABookWeek, I'm going to post a photo of me hugging a book I love.
I'm playing catch up as the Missouri SCBWI conference had me a little busy this weekend - so today I'm posting two!
First, is me hugging
Kelly Light's new release
Louise Loves Art. I've been following Kelly online for several years and am so happy for her and her debut book as an author/illustrator.
Second, is me hugging
Dan Yaccarino's
Unlovable. This is such a sweet book that is VERY lovable and just begging to be hugged! And I got it autographed this weekend at the conference!
