A huge yasher koach to these two magnificent women for putting on an excellent Jewish Children's Literature conference yesterday at Temple Sinai in Los Angeles. The day began with a breakfast talk by renown children's author, David Adler and continued with panels for aspiring authors and illustrators, children's librarians and teachers. AJL's beloved Linda Silver gave the keynote address at lunch with a well researched talk and slide presentation on the history of Jewish Children's literature. The afternoon included storyteller Joel Ben Izzy holding his audience spellbound with his extraordinary talent. The culmination came with an author parade featuring an astounding 30 (!) Jewish children's authors who were escorted to tables where they signed their books and chatted with attendees all of whom were treated to a dessert party. Thank you Suzi and Lisa for such a wonderful experience.
