Officallly have set-up camp for the #ALAN23 workshop! Excited to delve right in! @ALANorg

Better px of the "Hear Our Voices" audiobook panel w/ actor Max Meyers & authors @RutaSepetys @LumaMufleh This was great! I ♥️ audiobooks as much as print, not all authors can carry it off but these 2 R perfect. Loved the "object" prompt (why Max holds mirror) #ALAN23 @ALANorg

"Disrupting Tradition" with Traci Sorell @waterscharles @ThisIsMarlena and Noah Van Sciver at #ALAN23 @ALANorg Beautiful and relevant graphic novel and MG book!

This was such an emotional & meaningful moment! Discussing their books, which are fictionalized versions of their own abuse experiences, @RantingOwl & @HannSawyerr realize they have even more in common in their paths to sharing their truths. #ALAN23 @ALANorg No, I'm not crying...

"History's Reflection of the Present" featured @AutumnAAllen @LizNarratives and #JamieJoHoang (who somehow I missed getting a closeup of, drat) discussing their 3 very different yet all equally compelling books with a historical fiction/"auto fiction" angle. #ALAN23 @ALANorg

I didn’t post while at #NCTE23 or #ALAN23 bc my focus was to be present & learn with & from ALL of the AMAZING humans- but I’m leaving with a 🗒️full of ideas, inspiration, & wisdom, a full ❤️, & >80lbs of 📚 for the kids! Beyond thankful for the best PD ever!!! @ncte @ALANorg
