I had a simply wonderful time at the Book Fest at Bank Street yesterday. I left feeling inspired and grateful for all I learned and for connections made and renewed with people in the field. Paper grading and class prep awaits me today, but I hope to write more soo. For now, if you’d like to hear the talk I delivered on the Whole Book Approach, go to the 2:05 mark at this KidLit TV link, and check out the other speakers and panels, too.
