It’s the 8th anniversary of this blog!
This year its name changed from Kids Lit to Waking Brain Cells, as I changed jobs. Happily, I am able to continue blogging at my new job as well, even though I’ve left children’s work behind years ago. But I never stopped reading children’s books or supporting children’s programs.
I am also very happy to have readers like you, who continue to read my reviews and other content year after year (after year)… Thank you for your comments, your support, for being a community of readers that I love being a part of. You all make it a joy to blog, read and share.
So thank you! New readers and vintage readers (tried to avoid that “old” word) you make my day over and over again throughout the year.
Happy Blogeversary to the first kidlitosphere blog I ever read – way back in 2004. Many happy returns of the day! May the brain cells remain ever waking.

Congratulations! I have been following your blog since I learned about it in Library School a couple of years ago. I love your reviews! You were my inspiration to start my own blog a few months back. I am impressed at how much you remain in the world of Children’s Literature even though your job is not in the Children’s Department. I have just accepted a K-9th grade Technology Media Teacher position with a school that only has classroom libraries! I am so scared I will lose touch with kids’ books- but you give me hope!

No need to lose hope! You can keep in touch with your favorite reads no matter what job you have. 🙂 I remember when my mother told me that she had to stop reading books when she had children. I figure if I could keep reading through babies and children, I can keep reading through any job.
