April 2020 Carnival of Children’s Literature Call for Posts

Hello, friends!

You are invited to add your blog post about children’s literature to our end-of-the-month carnival round-up.

For the April 2020 Carnival of Children’s Literature, we’re looking for blog posts about children’s literature written by parents, educators, librarians, and children’s book authors, illustrators, and reviewers.

After one of our hosts approves it (yes, there will be a time-delay so we’re not posting spam) this end-of-the month carnival round-up will link back to your blog so everyone can read your post!

When children’s book author and (Here in the Bonny Glen) blogger Melissa Wiley hosted the very first Carnival of Children’s Literature in February 2006, it was an end-of-the month round-up of blog posts about children’s literature written by children’s book authors, illustrators, and reviewers as well as parents, educators, and librarians. The Blog Carnival software created the links (back to each blogger’s site) AND saved all of them in one place that everyone could see.

In 2010, Melissa handed the hosting duties over to me. Fast forward ten years. Last week I realized that my search for software that worked like our original (and now broken) Blog Carnival software was in something I used everyday — Facebook! A Facebook “Community” page can create the links (back to each blogger’s site) AND save all of them in one place that everyone can see.

So with Leo (our Library Lion mascot) and the help of my wonderful #kidlit blogger co-hosts: A Field Trip Life, Good Reads with Ronna, Randomly Reading, and The Book of Life, we are rebooting the #kidlitcarnival on April 28. Can you join us?
