I have had the pleasure of meeting Rick Riordan and Cynthia Leitich Smith at TLA in the last two years, and am especially excited about seeing them again and adding Laurie Halse Anderson and Jerry Pinkney to that list.  In addition, Norton Juster, author of The Phantom Tollbooth, will be presenting and leading a storytime, as are several of the other participants. These notable contributors to the wonderful world of literature will be so exciting to meet!
