The panel with Kirby and Jenni should be really fun. And Jenni just won her THIRD Newbery Honor this year. I'm happy that I get to go to the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet to be able to cheer for her and the other winners. When I was at the banquet for my own award evening two years ago, I was so nervous and excited I didn't eat, and the night flew by. So this time it will be fun to go and be a relaxed onlooker. If you're going to be at ALA stop by one of my sessions and say hello!
