The 2011 March Into Reading festival weekend was stupendous. In addition to talking trash and writing with students at Pennfield School, tools with students at St. Michael’s School, and bees with students at Cluny School, I got to hang out with book lovers of all ages, including my new friend Caleb. He is six, and he gave me the handmade honey bee you see in the picture up there. How cute is that bee? How cute is that boy?
Thank you, Caleb.
And thank you to author escort extraordinaire Tracy Gandy, conference organizer Kitty Rok (and her many, many co-organizers), booksellers Judy Crosby and Jenny Williams, photographers Gloria and Richard Schmidt, Julie the Announcer (!), all my author and illustrator colleagues, and every single person who wandered through Saturday’s Enchanted Garden of Books at Salve Regina University. You all sure know how to throw a book party!
