Cautioning us that a lot of what we've lost is the institutional memory of children's books, Jane Yolen asks us to remember Bernice "Bee" Cullinan, who was past president of ILA (International Literacy Association) and began Wordsong at Boyds Mills Press - which was the only dedicated poetry line in children's books.
Bernice passed away earlier this month. You can find out more about Bernice in this tribute article here.
