I’ve received some questions recently about Simmons College’s Center for the Study of Children’s Literature in Boston, which is where I got my M.A. degree.
In a case of excellent timing, just last week on her blog, Cynsations, Cynthia Leitich Smith interviewed one of my favorite teachers ever, Cathie Mercier. Cathie is one of the professors who made my experience at Simmons so extraordinary. And the interview is all about the different children’s literature programs Simmons offers — which means that now I don’t have to write about it myself! I can just send you all to Cathie’s interview! BWA-HA-HA! Laziness for the win!
Seriously, though, if you have any specific questions for me about the Simmons experience, please feel free to leave me a question today in the comments, and I will respond. A number of my readers are Simmons graduates, actually, so they should feel free to chime in as well!
Finally, here’s a three-minute video in honor of teachers. Yes, it might be familiar — I posted it here less than two months ago. But you know what? This one’s worth a second viewing. Why? Because teachers make a goddamned difference. :o)
