On Saturday I drove down to Princeton NJ (in a mini van full of Brooklyn kidlit peeps!) to attend the
7th Annual Princeton Children's Book Festival, hosted by the Princeton Public Library. What an awesome, fun-filled day. I got to meet lots of kids and their parents, a bunch of librarians and teachers, AND several authors and illustrators whose work I've admired over the years. Ohh, and I signed a good amount of books too! And then, the owner of
JaZams bookstore,
Joanne Farrugia, graciously opened up her home to us authors and illustrators for one fantastic after-party (w/ crab cakes and champagne — yummm!) An all round success of a day, I'd say :)

Extra special thanks to Allison Santos, the festival coordinator, for inviting me to be a part of such a wonderful event! I love my little children's book world~
