Only 87 - What other Bloggers are Saying

As mentioned last week, the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison recently announced that an estimated 87 children's books by African American authors were published in 2006 out of an estimated 5,000 children's books published.

Check out what other Bloggers are saying about this:

• Don Tate II shares his thoughts and blames me for encouraging his picture book buying habit.
• South African children's book author, Damaria Senne, wonders what the number of Black South African kid's lit authors might be. One comment mentioned that the South African Children’s Book Forum might be looking into this statistic.
