A KidLitCon 2014 Roundup

Between the two of us, Tanita and I have done several posts with our notes and impressions from this year’s KidLitCon in Sacramento. I suspect for both of us, some of these were necessary in order to come down a bit from that special organizer’s frenzy that seems to accompany the planning of such events. As you can see from the photographic evidence (photo courtesy of Tanita’s husband D.), we lived to see another day, and the written evidence mounted over the past weeks…so I wanted to round it all up in one place for the sake of convenience and simpler linking.

First, though, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you that there is a master roundup of KidLitCon posts by attendees over at the Kidlitosphere Central website, so don’t forget to peruse those for a “Diverse” (heh) range of posts about this year’s diversity-themed conference.

Here’s what Tanita and I came up with, sorted by post author for your convenience:
