A Party It Would Have Been Fun To Attend

. . . and the person who did.
Remember when I told you about the “Fear and Fiction: The Power Of Children’s Books and The Inner Life of The Child” Conference? Had you gone you could have seen, "children’s book authors David Almond, Chris Crutcher, Neil Gaiman, Robie H. Harris, Lois Lowry, Pam Munoz Ryan, Martin Waddell, Mo Willems, and Jacqueline Woodson. Speaking with them will be six child analysts, Judy Yanof (Boston), Karen Gilmore (New York), Alicia Lieberman (San Francisco), Nick Midgley (London), Arietta Slade (New York) and Jenny Stoker (London).Keynote speakers will be Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked, and Stephen Marans, Ph.D., of Yale University Child Study Center, author of Listening to Fear."

Well Monica got to go. Lucky lady.
