Sponsored by IUPUI, Kids Ink Bookstore, and IMCPL, this conference brings the stars of Children’s Literature to Indiana.  This year’s line up included Brian Selznick, Nikki Grimes, and Sue Corbett.  They were all amazing presenters who shared their talents and process with a room full of librarians, teachers, and children books lovers.

Brian’s presentation included seeing the original film that inspired the Caldecott Medal winning book – The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Grimes presentation was very poetic talking about colors and reading many of her amazing poems.  We also got a glimpse into the quick timeframe she had to write Barak Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope.  Unfortuantely, I didn’t get to see Sue Corbett.  I was giving a presentation on how to host an author visit, which was fun and I hope helpful for those attending.

I can’t wait to see who will be coming to Indy for the 2nd Annual Indy Youth Literature Conference in 2010!
