Every year we experience the loss of writers, illustrators, editors and publishers in the children's/teen literature world. In 2021, we lost some of the true superstars in the world of books.
Betsy Bird who blogs at Fuse 8 for School Library Journal recently posted a lovely memorial to the lives that were lost this past year. She writes: "I’ve been writing Obituary posts for a number of years now, and I can say with certainty that in no year have I seen as many notable, unforgettable, downright amazing names as I saw pass away in 2021. This past year was a gut-punch to the children’s literature community."
Stop here to read the post and remember along with her the marvelous book creators that enriched all their readers' lives.
