Texas Book Festival: I'm coming for you Knuffle Bunny!

Taking a break from midterm writing... a short break... maybe I need a long break... brain is turning mushy...

I hear that it's fall, and that it's beautiful outside. Must mean it's about time for the annual Texas Book Festival. What are your picks for this year's schedule?



I like the sound of "Windows into my world: Latino youth write their lives" on Saturday. But I think Sunday will probably be my day, schedule TBD according to which readers I bring along with me this year (dad? nieces? teacher friends?) Interesting how my day will shape up differently depending on what group of readers I choose to navigate the day with...

But my main agenda is to find a copy of Knuffle Bunny Too and hopefully Mo Willems to sign it on Sunday. Knuffle Bunny (part one) is the most important book in the life of my niece, Alivia, who is likely dragging her copy around Fiji as we speak. Can't wait to surprise her at Christmas with the next in the series. I haven't read the new one yet, but I find it lovely that Trixie (the main character) seems to be growing up at the same rate as Alivia... I'm coming for you Knuffle Bunny!
