Editor Mark

I'm off to Gramercy Books Bexley to pick up Maggie Smith's new picture book "My Thought Having Wings" to complement my copy of Connie Schultz's new picture book, "Lola and the Troll." I'm thrilled to welcome both of them to "That Word Chat," a Zoom-based video chat show for lovers of all things lexical.

You can join us at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Valentine's Day.

We'll ask Schultz and Smith about penning debut picture books, and there is so much more to talk about: Schultz is a Pulitzer-winning columnist and Smith wrote what was called "the official poem of 2016."

Journalist and novelist Connie Schultz and poet and memoirist Maggie Smith have each written children's books that debut this month. You can join us on Feb. 14, and ask your questions. Details are at bit.ly/ThatWordChat.
