Jan Paris Bookfest

What a guy! David Dias was so fun to watch and he was so kind to share his talent with us.  I think I giggled the whole time.  Should he be a comic, also?
                                                                                   I was so lucky to meet Jeanne Birdsall. I can relate to her story about enjoying those books for 9-12 ages. Her Penderwick girls are great and Jeanne is very kind.
Naomi Shihab Nye is a quiet unique lady.  I loved her book Going, Going which brought back a lot of San Antonio nostalgia for me.  I could see myself sitting with her on the River Walk having a cup of coffee and I so enjoyed listening to her read her poems.
