Book of the Week
Weekly showcasing an individual book and author: giving you a synopsis of the book, the approximate age range/gender interest, information on the author, and a list of other books written by that author (not necessarily exhaustive).
"Bery" Good Books
Monthly showcasing a book that has been awarded the Newbery Medal; the most prestigious award given to children's literature.
Created in 1921 by John Newbury, a publisher of juvenile books, this award is presented annually by the Association for Library Service to Children for a book deemed as "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children" (ALSC).
"Bygone" Books
Quarterly showcasing a book that is considered "old": written years ago, and often not read by our current readers. These are books still available to you (many can be purchased from Amazon) and, although not "popular", they are still worth reading.
Since 1993
WHO I AM...
I am Kim Dunivant: collector of children's books, seller of Usborne Books (website to come soon...still working this out), and writer of children's books (as yet unpublished...working on this).
Collector of children's books?? YES! This "accidental" collection began years ago when I was at a garage sale and saw two awesome, practically new books: McMillan's First Dictionary and McMillan's How Things Work. I bought them for $1.00 each with the intent to give to a friend's baby when he turned 7 years old or so. He's 24 now...and never got those books! They are the first two of over 1,000 books I have collected...
Seller of Usborne Books?? YES!! These books are fun and educational books for children up to approximately 14 years of age. I am still working out the details for selling these; website to appear soon where you can look at your leisure and buy if you find something your child needs!
Writer of children's books?? YES!! Although I have yet to publish, I have written 4 books for children and have partially written several more. I will update (with extreme excitement) when I finally get my first book published!
Next Steps...
