Last week I joined Lita at her events, in Michigan and then in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Today, Lita is on her own and headed down to Atlanta for the International Reading Association Conference. She has a full and deserving schedule of dinners and parties in the evenings. The award luncheon is on Thursday—One Thousand Tracings won the 2008 IRA Children’s Book Award for Primary Fiction. We also heard that one of the IRA special interest groups on “Engaging Literacy Learners with a Global View” is announcing a list of Notable Books for a Global Society and One Thousand Tracings is on that list.
Lita will be doing two autographing events: at the Anderson’s Bookstore Booth (#2452) on Wednesday from 2-3 pm, and at the Hyperion Booth (#1958) from 10-11 am on Thursday. Please stop over and see her if you’re at the conference.

thanks for the comment, David. After I got the note, I realized I hadn’t explained (you probably figured it out already) what was so odd about the two books I mentioned, which was that they both shared the words One Thousand, so I updated the entry a little. Good to hear from you & I hope I run into both you & Lita again.
