What Mr. Tiger Goes Wild inspires me to do:
I'm a big fan of Peter Brown's books and so excited to be celebrating Peter's newest book, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild. I had a chance to see a copy of this book at ALA's Annual Conference in June and fell in love with it. I have already placed this one on my Mock Caldecott list. I would love to see a shiny medal on this book come January 2014.
As part of the tour, I was asked to write about a time that "I went wild". I stopped and thought, and thought some more and I realized that I do not really like to do anything too wild. Probably one of the wildest things I have done is to decided to move 3,000 miles away from New England to Southern California. But that isn't really wild. Some people move all the time. So, then I thought some more, and a little more.
Last week, the wildest thing I did was to submit a proposal to present at IBBY's 34th International Congress in Mexico City in September 2014. For those of you who travel outside of the United States regularly this may not be a big deal, but I don't venture out as much. I spoke with a colleague of mine and asked her if she would join me. Aside from the fact that she speaks fluent Spanish (a definite plus on a trip like this), I know that she will push me beyond my comfort zone.
Here's to celebrating Mr. Tiger Goes Wild and may we all do something a little wild today.
