The sky is gray, but it’s all black and white at the Panda Chronicles!
Yes, it’s Sunday, which is now our day for Encore Presentations of all of my (and I hope your) favorite ‘toons. I spent yesterday at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference in Seattle. It was fun and overwhelming and I came home with piles of new books to read, saw many of my writer/illustrator buddies from SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and was in the presence of more people than I usually see in a year.
If I find books in my now huge to-be-read pile that I love, I’ll be sure to pass these titles along as I know many of you love to read things that aren’t even about pandas!
But now, let’s have some of those pandas you love!
I need to go have some cake!
Panda on!
Well, damn Sam, I always hoped there was another benefit from swearing! And yes, I’ve made the mistake of planning to eat “just a few pieces of Dove chocolates” and ended up eating more than a few!
Swearing is good for you and PROVES that you are smarter!
I know how the “just a few” thing works with cake and cookies (and mini dove bars!) 😀
Awh. I wish I had known you would be at ALA. I am there now. (I am a librarian.) Were you doing a book signing?
Arrrgh!!!! I tend not to announce on the internet that I’m going to be away from home (because, ya know) but I’m so sorry to have missed you at ALA. I wasn’t signing, but who knows! Maybe by the next time ALA comes to Seattle, I will have a publisher and a book to sign! I was only on the exhibit floor all day Saturday, getting books signed by some of the Seattle area writer/illustrators I know, picking up WAY too many ARCs and hanging out at the SCBWI booth. I need to head over to Twidder to see who won the Caldecott. (Pretty sure it wasn’t me ha ha!)
Panda On!
