Dear Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin,
Anderson's Bookshop's 10th Annual Children's Literature Breakfast is on Saturday, February 18, 2012. It is a fabulous morning with five keynote speakers, dozens of Illinois authors and illustrators, and fun booktalks by Jan Dundon and Kathleen March. It's one of my favorite children's literature events. If you're interested in attending, you can find more details here.
Best,
Mr. Schu :)
