Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Your courage should inspire other women to get checked and be proactive with their health.

Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing blogger, live-tweeted her first mammogram today. Unfortunately, about an hour ago she learned that she in fact has breast cancer. Many are wishing her well on Twitter. Here’s hoping that her bravery and candor inspires other women to get checked, and that she beats this thing.
Sad news. Xeni filed for NPR at one time and I was lucky enough to work with her back then. The good news is that she has the energy and intelligence needed to successfully take this on. —Wright

Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has a new children’s book about an artist who — like the author — enjoys stepping out of the box. It’s called The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse.
The child in the book paints a number of animals with unconventional colors. The book opens with the child declaring, “I am an artist,” and ends with the character, splashed with paint, saying, “I am a good artist.”
We love his books!
