Wow, what a terrific event -- teachers and authors and kids and librarians and lots of talk about books of all kinds... and it's all FREE. Of course I carried around a sketchbook the whole time.
Here are some sketchbook pages from
Nerd Camp 2015, our second year of participation:
These are the authors on our panel. Wow!! Big names!
After talking and sharing ideas with teachers for two days, we bring in the kids. Below, my group is drawing themselves as characters. Next they drew themselves as rabbits.Then we started writing and drawing a story together.
In between sessions I got to hang out with fellow Bloomsbury author
Erin Soderberg, creator of THE QUIRKS -- what fun she is!
Thank you so much to the organizers of
Nerd Camp, especially Colby Sharp and his family.
Thank you to
Bookbug, Kalamazoo's terrific independent bookstore, for handling sales at Nerd Camp. How great to see the overwhelming support for your store, from the crowd.
What an amazing resource this program is! I'm so happy to be part of it.
