As if my surprise birthday celebration at Thursday's storytime wasn't enough excitement for one week, on Friday I had the great pleasure of meeting JANE YOLEN!!! Jane was the keynote speaker at a Massachusetts Library Association conference for youth-services librarians from all across the state, at Tower Hill in Boylston.
Jane Yolen is the author of approximately a gazillion books for readers of all ages and has won LOTS of awards.
She has often been referred to as America's Hans Christian Andersen ...
you can read an interview of her discussing one of her books which honors that beloved author here.

An incredible writer,
she is also a wonderful speaker and it was truly an honor to be in her presence and listen to all she had to say about children's literature.
