Live panels! This year's panels are going to be ah-mazing! Diverse and inclusive read alouds? So important and there are so many amazing books, especially picture books, that I can't wait to hear about! Speaking of books, the authors above? Some of the BEST! Not only are their books right up there for me with permanent library spots, but they are just lovely, inspiring, and interesting people. I can't wait! My sessions are about Impostor STEM and coaching a robotics team. These are both near and dear to my heart! I hope to "see" you there!
