Y’all gotta come out for the keynote and the picnic. Those are my highlights.

I just revealed to my 5 and 3 year olds that “Ms. Skippyjon” would be reading her new book this weekend. You should have seen their eyes…

Wouldn’t miss Pulitzer-winner Robert Olen Butler, except he conflicts with Edward Hirsch, and I caught Butler last year. Can’t wait to see Sir Harold on Friday night.

Judy Schachner (Skippyjon Jones) is a family don’t-miss. She has a way of keeping the kids attention. The appeal of Skippyjon Jones escaped me intially but now I’m a fan of El Skippito just like the rest of my family. Fits well with the K-12 emphasis on Spanish in CSD.

I was listening to NPR this morning and heard a snippet about the book festival. I was unfortunately still half-asleep and brushing my teeth when the piece came on, so I don’t recall too many details.
