One of the best part of the KidlitCon was attending presentations given by many of the bloggers whose writing I have followed for years.

Or even seeing some of the “bigger bloggers” walking through the halls.

Yes- there was a hint of middle school going on…

But then the truly best part was meeting people who I had read only a bit or never even read at all. Just the week before, I had read a post on a Kid Lit list serve about the need for cross over between parenting blogs and children’s literature blogs. Clearly, this blogger was singing my song.

Mom and Kiddo writes at both What Do We Do All Day, a parenting blog and Storied Cities, a niche children’s literature blog featuring books with urban settings.

And then on Mondays, she brings her two worlds together. At her parenting blog, What Do We Do All Day, she hosts The Children’s Bookshelf, an opportunity for bloggers to share posts about children’s literature. In this way, she hopes to connect parents to the wonderful world of children’s literature bloggers and the books they love.

Pop on over here to see this week’s recommendations.
