| Dinah Stevenson, 2017 |
I was sad to learn of the passing of Dinah Stevenson, long time editor at Clarion Books, where so many of my books have been published, the first Pets Without Homes (1983) and the most recent Global Warming and the Dinosaurs (2010). Although Dinah was not my editor at Clarion, I knew her from attending Clarion events at conferences, visits to the Clarion office in New York, and other occasions. The last time I saw her was in Los Angeles in January 2017, when she came to accept the FOCAL award for Russell Freedman, an author she had worked with for many years.
Her obituary, highlighting her history and many achievements is in Publishers Weekly (Feb 1, 2024). Dinah was one of the great children's book editors. She will be greatly missed.
