Issue Nº 49: In-Person (Sort Of), a Book Update, and Zines with Kids!

Hello, friends, teachers, readers & humans! As always, I appreciate your comments and replies!


(Well, sort of in-person.)

Calling all Sleepy Hollow + Tarrytown teens! Love comics but don’t know where to start? Join me at the Comic Lab for Teens on Tue. Dec. 7 at 4 pm on zoom, sponsored by the Warner Library! Learn how to write, design, and illustrate your own comic strip. Together we’ll discover how to use words and pictures to tell stories and establish a daily practice for making comics. Click here for more information on this program.💥


… for Young People!

A long-awaited book update!

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES (penned by Jane) was featured in the 125th anniversary issue of the New York Times Book Review? Check it out!

A city cannot be a work of art.


Significant Miscellany

A guide for kids on climate change (and what we can do about it).

Love this new series of books for kids based on and inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art collections.

How do you teach kids to be active participants in government? Or to tell the difference between real news and fake news? How to make a civics education stick.


Locals: do you have two minutes?
