When I looked up "Children's literature authors" I found the following link extremely helpful.  (http://www.teach-nology.com/teachers/child_lit/authors/)
I like how everything is organized.  The information is easy to follow.  It provides many different authors and it tells you a lot of information.  They have contact information and other websites that can help you too.  They have a link where you can look up lesson plans which caught my attention right away.  This would be a good place to go and get valuable ideas on how to use there books in your classroom.
Another website that I found helpful is (http://www.childrenslit.com/childrenslit/mai.html).  
This website lets you meet the authors and illustrators.  It gives you reviews on the specific writer.  It is nice that there is a variety to choose from.

Believing In Living Literature - Chapter 1

This chapter explains what it means to live literature and how important that should be to us.  We are future teachers and the books we choose play a major role in educating our children.  It gives us examples and tells us how to believe in the children believing in literacy.  A teacher should be just as excited about the literature as the child.  As a teacher we need to find ways to use these books with the curriculum.

  3. Thanks for the sites. I visited the teach-nology site and I bookmarked it because it was really helpful.
    It also has a wide variety of authors to choose from.
    I also liked that the site is free because some of the teaching sites you have to pay a membership fee to get into.
