Links

Welcome to our page of links and there are lots of them.

We decided to focus on sites of authors of children's literature, both picture books and chapter books. Many of the authors you might recognize, but some could be totally new to you. Explore them and enjoy because many of these websites have all kinds of interesting things you can do online: read books, e-mail the author, get a preview of the new books coming, do puzzles and learn all about how these authors write and get their inspiration. The Canadian ones have a beside them.
