What Did I Buy at Anderson's Children's Literature Breakfast?
Anderson's 12th Annual Children's Literature Breakfast was a smashing success. Aaron Reynolds, Maggie Stiefvater, Jon Muth, Laurie Keller, Lin Oliver, and Henry Winkler delivered inspiring and engaging presentations.

If you've never attended Anderson's Children's Literature Breakfast, I hope you'll try to make it next year. The eggs and potatoes were good and the company at my table was even better.
Fun to see your purchases, Mr. Schu! Laurie Keller was the biggest revelation for me – we play the Scrambled States board game endlessly in our house (it's a must-have for all ages), but I didn't know about her Arne books and others. All the speakers were terrific. But Laurie was especially wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time to attend the Anderson's Breakfast, and I feel like I finally got invited to the prom! What an event!
This looks wonderful! I'm guessing this is the same event I saw yesterday on Twitter where someone posted a photo of a woman with Henry Winkler. I wish there was sound with your clips, but since we know Henry's voice, we can imagine. He really does seem like the sweetest man!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Breakfast held, btw?
