Bird, Lê, Jonker: Niblings at Nerd Camp
Nerd Camp – do you know about it? Man, have I tried to let everyone know about it. This is because if you live in Michigan (or are up for traveling here) and are passionate about books for kids, you should attend. What is Nerd Camp? In short, a free (FREE) two day unconference with a literacy focus held in Parma, Michigan. In long? I wrote about it for SLJ last year:

It’s a beautiful mix of teachers, librarians, school administrators, authors, and illustrators. Also: Niblings.
Me and a couple other folks I’m honored to share Niblings Facebook space with – Betsy Bird of A Fuse #8 Production and Minh Lê of Bottom Shelf Books – have a session at 1:15 on Day 1 of Nerd Camp (Monday, July 11th). Here’s the session description:
