I was particularly intrigued by the picturebook biographies you shared here, especially Firebird and Viva Frida. I hope that we get copies in our library soonest. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-7350994225994394032014-10-13T19:36:09.869-07:002014-10-13T19:36:09.869-07:00Not quite a festival (a committee meeting really),...Not quite a festival (a committee meeting really), but I think I behaved as if it was a fest. I squealed a little when they announced that there was a shelf of ARCs that we could take things from and when I saw all the shiny new books that were laid out for us to view. There were treats too. Food and books together - I think we CAN call it a festival.

When she was young she didn't have books like this and wants to make sure other girls have books that encourage their dreams.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-83672260642122458872014-10-13T18:56:11.019-07:002014-10-13T18:56:11.019-07:00Ninja skills!

I will go back through and see if there are any more I could nominate or ask someone else to nominate in areas where I had more than one favorite. ;)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-80282904549335817332014-10-13T18:54:36.208-07:002014-10-13T18:54:36.208-07:00I got out of the habit of including the stars.
