This year at the #ALAAC25, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a special dinner hosted by the publishing company ABRAMS, where I got to mingle with some of the most outstanding authors and illustrators in the industry. The event was held at Royal Boucherie, a dark, quiet restaurant with delicious food, but honestly, the highlight was the chance to sit down and chat with these amazing creators about their work, their creative processes, and, of course, their love for literature.
