After LITapalooza it was time for KidLitapalooza! How special to watch kids connect with their favorite authors! Loren Long gave an outstanding key-note and I loved helping Kari Lavelle with her nonfiction session! Special shoutout to ๐๐ฃ๐ค. ๐๐โ๐ฆ๐๐ (Steph) for being so darn amazing!
I always tell kids that when they find their people, they will know! I found mine in the #kidlit community & am forever grateful for the love, support, laughs, tears, hugs, learning, and friendship! LITapalooza was EVERYTHING!!!
