The National Latino Children's Literature Conference

I'm thrilled to be going to the National Latino Children's Literature Conference this year!  It's March 13th and 14th in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on the University of Alabama campus.  If you're into Latin@ children's lit and are in the area, you should definitely consider attending.

Among the keynote speakers are several Latina authors and illustrators, wonderful artists whom you should get to know if you haven't already:

• Carmen T. Bernier-Grand

• Lila Quintero Weaver

• Margarita Engle

• Laura Lacámara

• Meg Medina

I can't wait to hear what they and the other presenters have to share!
