Authentic Author To Be Cited

Ruth Martin passes word along that John Bellairs will be profiled in the upcoming Favorite Children's Authors and Illustrators, part of a 6-volume reference set aimed at middle-school readers.
The series will be published by Tradition Books, a school and library publishing company based in Minnesota, and distributed exclusively by The Child's World.

"This easy-to-use reference set will introduce children to 222 authors and illustrators. Each 500 word biography will introduce the reader to the author or illustrator's life and work as well as include a selected bibliography, a list of major literary awards received, a head shot of the author or illustrator, reproductions of book covers, sidebars of interesting facts and quotes, as well as additional resources to learn more about the person."
