It's spring which means book festival time. I was looking at the list of authors for the LA Times Festival of Books which is April 25-26 at UCLA. There are hundreds of authors who will be there including:
Chris Abani
Mary Gaitskill
Aimee Bender
Kadir Nelson
Laila Lalami
Ron Carlson
Sesshu Foster
and Common.
Common Common?
Apparently he's interested in urban literacy and has started a children's book series. The first title, "Mirror in Me" was released in '08. He also has a foundation (Common Ground Foundation) that has created a website featuring a children's book club. Inkwell Bookstore Blog did a review of the website last month.
As my 98-year old grandmother likes to say, Well alright.
