See You at ALA 2010!
Real quick, here are my ALA plans:
Friday, 6/25 Kidlit Drinks Night
Saturday, 6/26 10 a.m. signing that "charmer" of a book (Kirkus!), DOTTY, at the Abrams booth (#2732) and CHICKEN BUTT! too, with Henry Cole!
Saturday - Sunday, 6/26-6/27 Hanging out with some of my favorite authors, all of whom seem to be shamelessly promoting First Book (seems to be a trend...)
Sunday, 6/27 Attending the Newbury/Caldecott banquet with Abrams
Monday, 6/28 Lunch with my wonderful editor at Knopf, Erin Clarke (and collapsing with exhaustion)
and then
Tuesday - Wednesday 6/29-6/30 Presenting at the 25th Annual Shenandoah Children's Literature Conference, along with some fabulous authors and illustrators like Katherine Paterson, David Wiesner, Deborah Wiles, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Henry Cole, Blue Balliett and more!
