(Twitter stream with hashtag #kidlitart Thursdays at 9 PM eastern time.) Bonnie and I started the chat a year ago, today.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been quite a ride. We weren&#8217;t sure we&#8217;d have more than a couple of attendees, but in the last year, we&#8217;ve grown a lot. We&#8217;ve had special guests from around the globe in many different professions all of interest to the children&#8217;s book illustrator. Visit the blog <a href=\"http:\/\/kidlitart.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/kidlitart.blogspot.com\/<\/a> to see transcriptions of previous chats.<\/p>\n<p>One of the recurring themes on the evening chats (and there are a bunch &#8212; including snack foods) has been putting together a picture book dummy. A bunch of our regulars convinced Bonnie we should do this thing, and she in the end convinced me. So, tonight, on our 1-year anniversary of #kidlitart we are hosting the Picture Book Dummy Challenge. All the rules and regulations (such as they are) are up on the blog <a href=\"http:\/\/kidlitart.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/its-here.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the blog is the initial kick off post <a href=\"http:\/\/kidlitart.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/ready-set-go.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ready Set Go!<\/a>. Sharpen your pencils, put on your thinking caps and do your finger calisthenics!
