So, I drove out to Glen Ellyn, Illinois yesterday for the Sixth Annual Children’s Literature Breakfast. I got to Glen Ellyn by 8:10AM but Google Maps did me wrong and I didn’t get inside until 8:50, with the event starting at 9. They were very seriously at capacity in a room that held about one kabillion folks, and it took me a while to find a seat.
Once I found one, though, it was all good. The book talks were entertaining (and they aren’t always, to me). My favorite part was Richard Peck’s speech. He waxed wise and slightly smart-ass on everythng from the cycles in politics to what it means to be a writer.
And I finally got my signed copy of The Shadow Speaker and Zahrah the Windseeker, by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu. I can’t wait to dig in.
