ALSC announced a very special Breakfast for Bill at the 2016 ALSC National Institute<\/a>. This keynote celebration will include authors and illustrators Phil and Erin Stead, Laura Dronzek and Kevin Henkes. The National Institute takes place September 15-17, 2016<\/strong> in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

This star-studded panel includes two husband and wife pairs – Phil and Erin Stead, and Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek<\/strong> – who have two Caldecott Medals between them. They will discuss their latest collaborations, and give insights as to how the process of working creatively with a spouse differs from the process of creating individually. This event is sponsored by HarperCollins Children’s Books and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.<\/p>\n

The breakfast will honor the memory of William C. Morris<\/a>, former vice-president and director of library promotion at HarperCollins Children\u2019s Books by bringing librarians together with children\u2019s book creators. Morris was a long time ALSC member and friend<\/strong>, recipient of the first ALSC Distinguished Service Award, and an advocate for children\u2019s librarians and literature.<\/p>\n

Other Special Events<\/h2>\n

Other confirmed special events<\/a> include the Opening General Session on September 15 with David Shannon<\/strong>. On Saturday, September 17, Jacqueline Woodson<\/strong> will present the Closing General Session. Attendees will benefit from an on-site bookstore where they can buy books to have signed by their favorite speakers.<\/p>\n

The Breakfast for Bill event is free for all individuals registered for the 2016 ALSC National Institute. All special events are included in the cost of registration<\/strong>. Registration fees include Thursday dinner, Friday breakfast, and Saturday breakfast.<\/p>\n
