I was so happy Canary in the Coal Mine<\/a> got to represent West Virginia at the National Book Festival this weekend in the Pavilion of States. Here’s a breakdown in pictures.<\/p>\n

Me with my canary.<\/p><\/div>\n

Authors Wendy Shang and Kathy Erskine<\/p><\/div>\n

Me with Kathy Erskine. Yay, Virginia authors!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The librarians gave away 7 cases of these bird whistles, which worked exceptionally well for little pieces of plastic. (Add water to make them work.)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With Meg Medina and AB Westrick, organizers of Teen ’13 in Richmond. Meg represented Virginia at the book festival with Tia Isa Wants a Car. Anne just published Brotherhood.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Kathy in the spirit with these book earrings<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not great light but great librarians: Hannah Wilkes, Suzy McGinley, Susan and Elizabeth stamped and stood and talked books all day.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"

Canary in the Coal Mine. Miner's hat made of duct tape, half a hackey sack, and LED. He was often mistaken for a chicken or a duck. Or, to quote the younger kids, DUCKY!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

When it's raining at the end of the day, the table skirt offers protection AND lets Hannah and Suzy make a bold fashion statement.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now for some words:<\/p>\n

During breaks I saw:<\/p>\n

Jon Klassen<\/a>: Deadpan, humble, hilarious.<\/p>\n

Matt<\/a> and Jennifer Holm<\/a>: Energetic, chock full of contagious enthusiasm. We have a Babymouse fan in the house, but everyone re-upped when we learned: Matt loves Star Wars, Jenni’s husband designs video games, Jenni’s favorite book growing up was The Black Cauldron.<\/p>\n

Monica Brown<\/a> and Rafael Lopez<\/a>: Fun, fluid and fabulous.<\/p>\n

Best tables at the Pavilion of States (besides West Virginia, of course): Utah! Because the librarian there knew the owner of the restaurant that was last featured<\/a> on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. And because they gave away salt. And New York. Because it had Rocco Staino<\/a>.<\/p>\n
