Michael Rosen is Britain's new children's laureate.
And, starting next year, the US will also have a similar representative and champion of children's books, called the national ambassador for young people's literature.
Who will it be? I'm guessing (and hoping) Maurice Sendak.

November 2008: Antoinette Portis: Not a Box
A box is a box is a box. Right? Wrong! A box is a racecar, a mountain, a robot, a skyscraper, a hotair balloon, a pirate ship ... basically anything and everything you want it to be.
This book is about how imagination can transform an object, and your life!
Rabbit and his box are rendered in black ink, while red embellishments show readers just where Rabbit's flights of fancy take him and his "not-a-box".
Absolutely brilliant!
