In writing and literature, Children’s author Kate DiCamillo (Because of Winn-Dixie) writes that all children’s stories should be a little sad. The Man Booker Prize is being urged to drop American Authors from consideration. And Ann Kroeker warns that curiosity can ruin your writing.

And we have whales.
