I was looking through my Favorites folder today, and I came across another great site. This one is for children's writers and illustrators. Yellapalooza is a warm, friendly, place chuck full of wit and wisdom when it comes to charting the sometimes choppy waters of children's books.

Here you will find valuable tips and resources in topics like Author, or Illustrator School Visits from the delightful insights of Ask Miss Arty-Pants. In their Articles section you can read about the members published books, both fiction and nonfiction.

Their links page is comprehensive, yet streamlined, no getting lost within a phone book of lists. But, the Tutorial page is one of my favorites, complete with How To's on topics like Critique Groups, making a Picture Book Dummy and Submissions.

Check it out, you won't be disappointed and don't forget to meet the members on the About Us page, a peek at some very generous and talented authors and illustrators.
