]]> Whew! What a whirlwind trip. We did the visit-the-relatives, attend-part-of-ALA, tour-Chicago combo vacation. We even celebrated a birthday in there!

Our Nonfiction Book Blast presentation at ALA on Sunday was a huge success. The (enormous) room was full. We had crowds waiting to come in! This was–frankly–amazing to me. Not because we didn’t deserve it (all the other authors were superb in their presentations), but I’ve been to pretty many conferences now, and nonfiction usually doesn’t get this much love. But the audience seemed to enjoy it and we’re already getting hits on our wiki.

Want to join us? You can add your nonfiction booktalk to our wiki. We’re hoping for a big collection of them for teachers and librarians to use. Our wiki also includes our own booktalks and handout.

In the meantime, here are some photos…
