WGA strike and the the kidlit world.

From UPI:

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Several people sidelined by the Hollywood writers strike said they are penning children's tales to pass the time while they wait to go back to work.

"It's kind of a nice way to do something creative at a time when we're having a hard time doing our bread-and-butter work," David N. Weiss, a "Rugrats" writer and WGA official, who recently turned in a first draft of the children's book "Carl the Frog," told The Hollywood Reporter.
