Saturday morning with picture books at #alamw17. I spotted and grabbed my first two ARCs of the day at a breakfast hosted by HarperCollins. I scored a copy of the new picture book by \u00a0Dan Yaccarino- Morris Mole<\/i>. \u00a0I also got a middle grade ARC by Rita Williams-Garcia, Clayton Byrd Goes Undercover<\/i>!\u00a0Take a look (and try not to drool!) at the endpapers of Dan Yaccarino’s picture book:\"\"<\/a>
\nTo wet you whistle, check out the back of Rita Williams-Garcia new book:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up next, second breakfast with Scholastic authors & illustrators talking about what we all love- picture books! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peter H. Reynolds, Kate Messner, Carmen Agra Deedy, in conversation with Julie Danielson. Here are some highlights from the conversation:<\/p>\n

Libraries are dreaming academies. . . You [librarians] are the keepers of important ideas. – Peter H. Reynolds @scholastic breakfast at #alamw17<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPicture books are an entry in to discussions for all ages. – Kate Messner @Scholastic breakfast at #alamw17<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite books growing up were Aquaman comics & then I met Charlotte’s Web. – Carmen Agra Deedy @scholastic breakfast #alamw17<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I moved on to the ALSC Leadership meeting to listen to the brilliant librarians coming together to discuss ways to grow and improve, how to be more inclusion and belonging, and how to use comics to get the message out to the wider world beyond the library community.
