If you are in the Orlando area, there is a fabulous (free) event taking place next Saturday: the 4th Annual UCF Book Festival, which gets bigger and better every year. Go on to http://education.ucf.edu/bookfest/index.cfm to learn about the many authors and illustrators who will be present, and please look for me too! Would love to meet friends old and new.
