Key note speaker- Lemony Snicket. He was a riot and read aloud his new picture book The bad mood and the stick.
I purchased a copy for Upham (as a birthday book) and had it signed by Lemony!
One of the highlights of my day was listening to Javaka Steptoe read Radiant Child. His book won the Caldecott medal in 2017! It was one of our UpCott selections from last year (Upham's mock Caldecott award) and I read the book to many of the classes.
I also enjoyed listening to Bryan Collier read a few of his books. He read his newest title, It's shoe time, which hasn't been released yet! I was able to purchase a copy for Upham (as a birthday book) and got it signed.
Peter H. Reynolds was there signing his books. I had him sign Upham's copy of the Dot (remember how we celebrated Dot Day?!), Ish and Sky Color.
