I am in Madison, Wisconsin, for the AASL Region III Affiliate Meetings. I will be here through Sunday morning. Tonight a few of us met at the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, to hear author Kevin Henkes read from his new book Bird Lake Moon. This is Kevin’s 38th book and tonight was the official launch. Kevin read a lengthy excerpt from the book and it sounds like a poignant, beautiful story.

Oh, you are so lucky. I saw Kevin Henkes at ALA Annual a few years ago, at a BookList event where authors were talking about their favorite childhood authors. Kevin’s was Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) — beautiful!
