He's an off-the-track Thoroughbred, a jumper through and through, and a horse who firmly believes that the solution to any problem involves going faster. With the indispensable guidance of our patient and talented trainer Serah Vogus, he and Audrey are forming a deep bond. One of their adventures together took us to the Kentucky National Horse show in September.
Alex also seems to think of the Horse Park as kind of a big deal. He has a bit of a history of, as we say, "going Dark Lord" there. And so, even though he had been much more gentlemanly than not in the shows leading up to this one, this was his first trip to the Horse Park with Audrey and we weren't quite sure how things were going to go.
And let me see if I can take it up a notch further from there. It wasn't just a return to the Horse Park, but a return to the Walnut Ring. For Audrey, then, it was a return to the ring where she realized her Pony Finals dream. For Alex, in contrast, the Walnut Ring has been the stuff of nightmares.
Some background: The Walnut Ring is distinctive in a couple respects. It's large and irregularly shaped, and only partially bordered by a low fence. It sits well above the warm-up ring. Horses have to walk perhaps 50 yards up a relatively narrow fenced ramp to get to it. Looking up from the bottom it's hard to know where that ramp leads.
The particulars are lost to history, but somewhere along the line Alex concluded that all is definitely not cool with the Walnut Ring.
The last time he had been there he was showing with Emma Alhalel, his prior owner, and things started to go poorly in the warm-up ring. But of course it couldn't be typical schooling ring misbehavior. Not with Alex.
As you might imagine, the trip up the ramp from there was an adventure. Alex ran forward and then he ran backward. He spun in circles and reared. They stopped everything, cleared the ramp, and finally, after a drawn-out struggle, he went in.
Our trainer Serah Vogus rode Alex the first two days of the show. It was, shall we say, not so easy to get him in the ring, and for a moment or two it looked like jumping the rail into the ring would be easier than walking through the gate. But things went well inside the ring.
He'd have been champion in the Take 2 Thoroughbred Jumper division if they had awarded it (there were only two classes). His other trips were solid. There was reason for hope.
And then it was Audrey's turn. Their first class was in the Claiborne Ring. If it went well, they could move up to the 1.10-meter jumpers in the Walnut Ring. Alex, as the accompanying video shows, was a perfect gentleman.
Of course, showing in the Walnut Ring required getting into the Walnut Ring. That required some coordination. The plan called for a signal from the in-gate when the horse before him entered the ring. Then there would be a clearing of the ramp, followed by clucking and chasing and possibly some waving of arms and shaking of blankets. All done in the most dignified fashion, naturally.
It didn't quite work to perfection. The second part of the plan was to get Alex to the area just to the right of the canopy covering the bleachers and the gate person. There, maybe, he'd regain his composure before the scary trek through the in-gate. But, just as Audrey and Alex approached the gap in the rail that leads to that area, a passerby with the best of intentions held her arms out to block his path. There was only one place to go, and that was into the ring.
It was what they call a dramatic entrance. Audrey's greatest disappointment for the whole show was that I didn't get it on video.
All would have been fine, except for the fact that the horse two ahead was still on course. Which meant that now there were three horses in the ring. Leaving was not an option, because leaving would require getting back in.
With the permission of the judge they lingered along the edge of the ring as the horse before completed its trip (which was, fortunately, clean). Suffice it to say that the trip that followed had some hiccups.
Fast forward to the end of the day. It was clear that Alex had not left his alter ego at home. And so, because a dad's gotta do what a dad's gotta do, and because I flatter myself with the idea that Alex and I have a certain rapport, I felt it was time for an intervention. That evening, while the other members of the Millcreek Farm contingent were either watching the Maclay regional or off at dinner, I slipped into Alex's stall.
He paused, looked to make sure no other horses happened to be walking past, then leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice: "Plus I'll let you in on a little something—and maybe don't spread this around too widely, if you don't mind. It's scary up there by the entrance to that ring. Not, like, obviously scary. I don't think too many humans would even pick up on it.
We spoke for a while longer. I tried to convince him that it wasn't really as bad as all that. I reminded him how good Audrey has been to him, that this was her first trip to Kentucky with him, that it was kind of a big deal. He listened for a bit, said he would think about it, then turned toward the back of the stall.
I'd love to tell you that I got through to him, that what followed was a blizzard of double-clear rounds, blue ribbons, and so much prize money that they wrote a check to me. But that's not how it went.
Audrey and Alex became a little bit famous as a result of his antics. "That was you?!," asked an amazed young woman who overheard Audrey telling the story. And the show was a success in that Alex was great in the Claiborne Ring, and each trip into the Walnut Ring was a little bit calmer than the last.
Inside the ring he and Audrey faced the biggest, most difficult courses they have yet seen. And they learned. They studied the pieces of the puzzle, examined their shape, and felt their contours. Soon enough they will put them all together.


I just wanted to write a little about the crew show we had last evening. Our entertainment cast on the ship is wonderful. They are smart, fun, caring but mostly talented. They took their own time to revamp one of the regular shows they perform for the guests and do it for the crew of the ship. This was their third show of the evening at 11:30pm, the first two being at 8pm and 10pm for the guests. They even bought the beer for us. Yeah, Krystal.
The twists they put on the numbers were all kind of creative as well as hilarious. The band was amazing in their shorts/bathing trunks with the formal black socks and/or no shoes at all. They laughed at themselves so we could laugh along and have a truly enjoyable evening. From the captain on down, we were laughing, crying and clapping in appreciation. LaLa's dance brought tears to eyes and also opened eyes as to what creative dance really is. I wish I could post photos so you could see our amazing talent. But you will just have to take my word that the show was fabulous and the only down side was that more crew could not be there to enjoy it. Muchas gracias to you all, Josh, Laura, Tim, Patrick, Keldon, Krystal, LaLa, Tasha and the magnificent Veendam HAL Cats. You are the best.

How did you enter the world of children's publishing and can you elaborate on your subsequent rise to the position of Art Director at HarperCollins?
My entry into children's publishing was fairly serendipitous. I had just moved to New York City and was looking to take a full-time job (in any field) while pursuing a degree in Graphic Design at night. As it happened, on my first day in the city, I ran into an old college friend of mine, who happened to be working at Scholastic Inc. She told me about an editorial-assistant position that had come available and urged me to send in my resume. While I didn't hear back about that job, I did unexpectedly receive a call from David Saylor (Creative Director), who was looking to hire a design assistant. He knew that I didn't have any previous graphic design experience, and was kind enough to take a chance with me and act as a mentor. Thanks to him, I got a first-rate design education that far surpassed anything I would have received in a classroom setting. Needless to say, I never made it to design school.
After Scholastic, I went on to work at Simon & Schuster, Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, Scholastic Inc. (for a second time), and am now at HarperCollins. Having moved around quite a bit in the last 10 years, I've had the opportunity to work with many talented individuals and experience different publishing styles. The result is a broad, well-balanced industry perspective that I draw on constantly in my current role as Art Director.
I'm currently working on a hysterical new illustrated chapter book series called OTTO UNDERCOVER, by Rhea Perlman. This is an offbeat and quirky series about a 10-year-old boy who is a secret agent disguised as a professional racecar driver. His sidekick, Racecar, is basically a tricked-out James Bond car to the tenth power. Given his name, Otto Pillip is also wild for palindromes.
After reading the manuscript I realized I needed to find someone with a wild and vivid imagination who would be able to visually translate the wackiness of this story. I utlimately chose Dan Santat — whose work I was familiar with from working at Scholastic. Dan's illustration style is highly imaginative, and I instantly knew he would be a good fit based on his humorous and over-the-top sensibility. Choosing the right illustrator is very much about drawing on your gut instincts.
Could you select two of your favourite children's books, one from your own lists and another – and tell us what makes these titles special.
I have so many favorite chidren's books that it's extremely difficult to choose just two. But I can cite two of my current favorites, both of which also happen to be illustrated by their respective authors.
From HarperCollins' list: KITTEN'S FULL MOON, by Kevin Henkes. It's about a kitten who sees her first full moon and mistakes it for a big bowl of milk. The story follows her misadventures as she tries to steal a lick. The book is poignantly illustrated in black and white, and each spread is so beautifully thought out that the illustrations alone carry the story. It is also thoughtfully designed from cover to cover. This book goes right for the heart; no wonder it won the 2004 Caldecott Award.
From Hyperion's list: DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS, by Mo Willems. The book starts off with the bus driver announcing that he has to leave for a short while, and instructs the reader to not let the pigeon drive the bus. The pigeon pleads and pleads, but is turned down at every page turn. Mo's illustrations are so wonderfully minimalist, yet so full of expression. At one point the pigeon throws a temper tantrum and Mo brilliantly expresses the bird's frustration (in a silent spread) with a simple frenzied squiggly line above the pigeon's head. I couldn't imagine this spread being done any other way.
How often do you work with illustrators from outside the US?
About 80% of the illustrators I use are based in the U.S., although I've recently started to use more artists based in the UK. Editorial artists in the UK are doing wonderfully innovative work that looks totally unlike much of what's being done in the U.S. today. There are several illustrators that are doing fantastic, dynamic compositions mixing contrasting mediums like photography and illustraion. When looking for something more unusual, I tend to head to UK-based agencies first.
Can you identify some of the current trends in children's publishing and predict trends for 2006.
Talking about trends in publishing is tricky because the lead time is so great that it's kind of like talking about the weather two years in advance. Middlegrade fantasy still continues to be strong, riding on the tail of Harry Potter, and teen "Chick-Lit" seems to be experiencing a decline due to market over saturation. I do, however, look forward to a growing number of graphic novels being published in the near future. While not a new genre, it has been overlooked by mainstream publishers, and is finally enjoying a revitalization.
How much influence do the Sales / Marketing depts have over your work?
Sales and Marketing are playing an increasingly larger role in determining the look of a book. Each cover I oversee goes through a series of checks and balances that includes input from the sales and marketing teams.
Publishers in the U.S. have learned that it's vitally important to appeal to the needs of our biggest booksellers, as they are often the greatest source of revenue. If a bookseller says a particular cover design will make the difference between a book selling ten- and fifty-thousand copies, the publisher will obviously try to accommodate their suggestions.
Is it important for you to keep the author involved during the artwork progression / selection process, or is this the publisher's responsibility?
It really depends on the book. Unless the author is also the book's illustrator, it's generally easier if they are not involved in the design process. That said, it's ultimately up to the editor to serve as liaison and determine the level of author involvement (which is sometimes written directly into the contract). In certain instances, however, I will speak with the author directly, to better convey an idea or make the case for a specific type of cover treatment.
Could you explain how Harper Collins is structured in terms of royalties?
Royalty structures vary between picture books and novels, with picture book authors and illustrators generally each receiving royalties, while novel authors alone receive royalties. In rare instances, novel illustrators are able to negotiate a small royalty in addition to a flat fee, but they typically have a certain stature within the industry.
Do you attend any trade events? If so, which ones do you consider important and why.
I unfortunately don't attend as many trade events as I would like. Most recently, I attended Book Expo America, which was mind blowing; the number of independent publishers was absolutely staggering. It was inspiring to see so many people so personally vested in book publishing.
What advice would you offer to illustrators looking to impress you with the presentation of their work?
Self-promotion is a very important part of being a freelance illustrator, and I encourage people to be as creative as they can. I get over a hundred postcard mailers a month and, after a while, they all start to look alike. The most original and creative mailers are the ones that make me take a closer look. My favorite self-promotion piece to date came in the form of a self-made envelope that was fully illustrated both inside and out. It was so clever that I wanted to learn more about the person's work. In the process, I discovered a page on the illustrator's website where you could download the envelope template and print it out on your own ink-jet printer – to use yourself. It was a great example of an eye-catching mailer that was inexpensive to reproduce and even adapt for personal use.
I would also encourage every illustrator to have an attractive and user-friendly website. As I don't have time to schedule in-person portfolio reviews, and I rely heavily on being able to quickly browse through someone's work online. In the same vein, I would also recommend providing easily printable work samples. Often people make the mistake of making their online portfolios so flashy or gimmicky that it becomes clumsy, difficult, and time consuming to maneuver through. Less is more in this case.
Harper Collins works regularly with many talented illustrators. Would you commission a fledgling illustrator, or do you prefer only to work with established illustrators?
I am always looking for new talent, and would most definitely hire someone new to children's books or the industry at large. I do, however, prefer to use seasoned illustrators for more complicated projects like heavily illustrated chapter books. These kinds of books are extremely time consuming to lay out, and it's much more efficient to work with someone familiar with the format.

What if you still had an imagination?
One of my greatest joys in being a parent, is passing on a sense of wonder to my kids. I love watching their eyes light up when we read stories and play pretend and look for signs of magic left behind by fairies and pirates and all things Disney.
But who feeds my imagination?
What happens when life is too full of grown up adulting and seriously lacking in pixie dust??
Enter the lovely team over at Wonder and Company with their magical Wonderful Objects boxes. This fantastical mystery box appeared on my door step and invited me to peek inside.
What if I had a box filled with curiosities meant to spark my own sense of wonder?
What if I discovered whimsical objects I could use in my everyday routine?
What if I had a few moments to myself to savor a few specially curated handmade objects on wonderful themes?
This box of wonderful objects is handpicked and packed with love over at Wonderful Objects. Many of the pieces are handmade with amazing attention to detail. When I opened my box, I felt like I was opening a present that a dear friend sent just for me rather than a simple standard delivery package.
Wonderful Objects is storytelling through physical objects and it feels amazing to be on the receiving end of a story. As much as I love surprising my kids, I was tickled pink to be the one experiencing the surprise.
Wonder and Company is already hard at work curating their second delivery. The boxes ship quarterly and they have varying durations for subscription options. Be sure to check out all the details here.
Who knows where their next box of adventure will take you!
I want everything in that box. I want the bag. I want the postcard? I want the coffee mug….

More HBCUs, 'Despicable:' How the Black History Month bomb threats could have been prevented

In addition to Howard University receiving its fourth bomb threat, three new schools receive their first.
By Allison Joyner
UPDATE: The outbreak of bomb threats to Historically Black Colleges and Universities continues to be sustained.
Monday, Howard University received its fourth bomb threat this year and three Carolina schools had their first on Tuesday.
Columbia, S.C.'s Claflin University in and Fayetteville State University and Winston Salem State University in North Carolina leaving the count to 27 HBCUs that have received bomb threats this year.
The FBI, who is leading the investigation, said in a statement that it's "too soon to say" if the threats are related, but the pattern is troubling. As we go into the last full week of Black History Month, I ask again: why is this still happening?
As the search is on for those involved with calling over two dozen bomb threats over two days to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These threats demonstrate the racism of the Civil Rights Era — that many argue is long gone — is still alive and well.
Most news outlets say 19 Historically Black Colleges and Universities have been threatened, but this figure isn't taking into account eight additional schools — including Spelman College — that received threats on Jan. 5. A threat was called in on Jan. 5, Feb. 1 and Feb. 8.
The university's leadership is disgusted.

"These threats are despicable," said Mary Schmidt Campbell, president of Spelman College, in a letter to the community. "They are designed to make us feel fearful and vulnerable. I write now to let you know what additional steps the College is taking to ensure the safety of the Spelman community and our neighbors in the Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC)."
Campbell is right. Threatening students, especially the women of Spelman, for malicious intent, personal gratification or even deranged contentment does not only make you a criminal or a deranged individual; it makes you a domestic terrorist.
That said, it is possible that these threats can be chalked up to a student wanting to get out of an exam. A prank, maybe. But the sustained nature, the frequency, and the targets seem too thought out. Too premeditated. Dismissing this as a prank discredits the lived experience of too many Black Americans.
Map updated Feb. 21
SaportaReport mapped out all of the HBCUs that have received bomb threats this year. This clearly demonstrates that more schools have been targeted than have been reported by mainstream media outlets.
And it has been up to the leadership of these institutions to ensure students feel safe.
"When the first threat arose, I've said to my students 'it's okay,' like the general sweeping moment, so to even hear about a bomb threat at a space that I'm teaching at it's surreal," said Dr. Richard Benson, Associate professor at Spelman.
Yes, the FBI does have possible suspects that may or may not be involved but what motive would someone have to spread terror across the Eastern U.S.? Maybe it has to do with making young African Americans afraid.
Oner location for the new Center for Black Entrepreneurship will be at the Innovation Lab at Spelman College. (Special: Spelman College.)
"We begin Black History Month 2022 under the guise of a terroristic threat. That's the first thing that went through my mind," Benson said.
Fortunately, some political leaders are acting. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, U.S. District 5 Representative Nekema Williams and Senator Jon Ossoff reached out to her that day. In addition, Morehouse College graduate, Senator Raphael Warnock, assured the AUCC that he would engage the director of the FBI to conduct an investigation as well.
Action groups have been motivated as well. Yael Hershfield, director of Incident Response and Law Enforcement Initiatives at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) S, told SaportaReport in a statement that the bomb threats are "deeply disturbing," and the group is participating with the FBI, HBCU universities and other community partners on their ongoing investigation.
The ADL's CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, tweeted, "the Jewish community and ADL specifically have faced bomb threats in recent years and offer solidarity for our HBCU friends."
Thank you to the @FBI and law enforcement authorities who've identified the perpetrators who are terrorizing HBCUs with these hateful and racist threats. The Jewish community and @ADL specifically have faced bomb threats in recent years and offer solidarity for our HBCU friends. https://t.co/BCl88dPgcj

Bomb threats to HBCUs are not something new. For centuries, Black institutions have experienced this fearmongering. It is a tool for maintaining the oppressive control of African Americans.
Benson said there are three common themes of bomb threats and attacks against Black people:
Spelman Athletics Council, 1943. Courtesy of Spelman College Archives.
Targeting churches, like the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church that killed four little girls in Birmingham, Ala.
Targeting schools, like we've seen this year.
Targeting the homes of civil justice leaders and community organizers like Dr. Martin Luther King and Ralph David Abernathy in 1956.
The sad fact is this is nothing new. To give this a historical context, violence towards HBCUs has been happening since after the Civil War. In 1865, an arson fire burned three buildings at Wilberforce University in Ohio after the assignation of Abraham Lincoln. The following year, Memphis school Lemonye-Owen College burned to the ground during a race massacre that killed 46 people and injured 70.
The last HBCU to have suffered an act of violence was Florida A&M University in 1999. In Aug., a pipe bomb detonated on campus and another went off three weeks later.
Going back to what happened on Jan. 5, this begs the question: why is this still happening?
Unfortunately, it seems like nothing has changed.
Souls have been shaken because of these threats. The grief and fear resulting from these threats could impact students, faculty and staff for a lifetime.
For too long, Black Americans have been failed by the institutions set in place to protect this nation's citizens. We have an enormous population in this country for which the "system" simply does not work.
Most of the students had not moved back into the resident housing on Jan. 5, so a direct threat to their lives was not in play, but last week's threats resulted in a trauma that did not just resonate with them but their families and support systems as well. Students from Spelman come from all but two states and 13 countries, including Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Kenya, resulting in them being recklessly put in danger by a delay or lackluster reaction by the administration, Public Safety and APD.

This new pattern has shown Spelmenites -- and indeed, all young Black folks -- that this is becoming a norm. It was the norm in the 1950s and 60s, and it's the norm now. And it's disgusting. This never should have happened -- especially not three times.
Rose and Benson agree that now is the time to stomp this extremism out. One way is to demand legislation that includes harsher charges with maximum penalties for these crimes. This might help, but it probably won't be enough.
Legislative solutions are one thing, but what's especially troubling is that we need laws like this in the first place. No child is born with hate in their hearts; behavior is taught by an influential adult. The individuals who called in these threats are certainly guilty, but those who taught them this hate are equally responsible.
"To be silent gives consent and we should not be silent but we should focus on the structure to continue the continuation of destruction. We must make the status quo feel extreme discomfort," said Rose.
Punishing the people responsible for the threats is a step in the right direction, but punitive measures are not enough. Having a unified condemnation of this cultural assault is the only way to prevent this hate from continuing into another century.
America is better than this.

/**
 * TOC.js: create a table of contents for a document.
 *
 * This module registers an anonymous function that runs automatically
 * when the document finishes loading. When it runs, the function first
 * looks for a document element with an id of "TOC". If there is no
 * such element it creates one at the start of the document.
 *
 * Next, the function finds all <h1> through <h6> tags, treats them as
 * section titles, and creates a table of contents within the TOC
 * element. The function adds section numbers to each section heading
 * and wraps the headings in named anchors so that the TOC can link to
 * them. The generated anchors have names that begin with "TOC", so
 * you should avoid this prefix in your own HTML.
 *
 * The entries in the generated TOC can be styled with CSS. All entries have
 * a class "TOCEntry". Entries also have a class that corresponds to the level
 * of the section heading. <h1> tags generate entries of class "TOCLevel1",
 * <h2> tags generate entries of class "TOCLevel2", and so on. Section numbers
 * inserted into headings have class "TOCSectNum".
 *
 * You might use this module with a stylesheet like this:
 *
 *   #TOC { border: solid black 1px; margin: 10px; padding: 10px; }
 *   .TOCEntry { font-family: sans-serif; }
 *   .TOCEntry a { text-decoration: none; }
 *   .TOCLevel1 { font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; }
 *   .TOCLevel2 { font-size: 12pt; margin-left: .5in; }
 *   .TOCSectNum:after { content: ": "; }
 *
 * That final line generates a colon and space after section numbers. To hide
 * the section numbers, use this:
 *
 *   .TOCSectNum { display: none }
 *
 * This module requires the onLoad() utility function.
