Another One Bites the Dust: TLA 2015
Mutual Inspiration: After reading and scaring kiddos with his books, it was a dream beyond belief to meet Michael Dahl! We shared scary stories & I shared the Halloween lessons we did, leaving him inspired. You don't believe me? Like his Facebook and ask him what lesson he took from "Duchess the Librarian?" And before I forget, for my kids at Goodman ES, Mr. Dahl isn't just a scary writer...recognize these books:

Another year visiting & supporting the wonderful writing of Don Tate! Thank you Don, Chris and Jen Burton and EVERYONE at Eerdman's Books for Young Readers (Anita & Kathleen)!
Andrea Pinkney challenged us to embrace diversity and write a "Letter to Diversity," as she shared her own letter!
Betcha didn't know that I'm in a book! I contributed research and read several books to help my mentor, Dr. Roger Leslie complete Teach Me Success: Teaching Character Education Through Characters Kids love! Can we say AWESOME??!!
@awakenlibrarian Your research was stellar, and I LOVED working with you to help children see models of success in award-winning books.

Dan Gutman vs. Dan Yaccarino...it doesn't matter who won because they both are excellent writers! But I did get Gutman's signature:
Here are the books from TLA and some have signatures of course! :)
Last but certainly not least, the best bite of food I had was from Cafe Crepe in downtown Austin: The best lunch I ever had! I wanted to come back that evening, but they closed at 4 pm. I told the owner not to worry, I'd come to his house! He said I was the cutest thing and then ok! :) Dating is so easy in Austin! Lol!
