Photographing birds the other day
At the SCBWI Writer’s Day 2019 yesterday
I was at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrator’s Writer’s Day 2019 yesterday, at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA. Lots of great speeches and gatherings. I brought THE MARTIN LUTHER KING MITZVAH along with me so I wouldn’t be lonely. It was nice meeting Frances Gilbert, Editor-in-Chief of Doubleday Books for Young Readers, who told us about her upcoming book Go, GIRLS, GO! and also participated on a panel discussion about how much information to present to children in your books.
