VAASL (Virginia Association of School Librarians) Annual Conference

Librarians truly are amazing. I left this conference feeling energized and hopeful. There was so much empathy, love, and kindness all around. I met some wonderful educators and can't wait to connect with you all soon! I also loved spending time with my fellow Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators members. They are not only a lot of fun but are also some of the hardest working people that I know! 

Fellow Wake Forest University alumni and friend, L.M. Elliott, was also presenting at the conference. What a joy to catch up with her and celebrate her wonderful book, BEA AND THE NEW DEAL HORSE which is now out in paperback!
