Thanks to Blue Bunny Books and the Dedham Public Library, the SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE 3 Book Festival took place virtually on May 16! We started off with an great keynote from Tui Sutherland, who recommended stacks of fantastic books, then proceeded with an excellent panel on contemporary fiction and nonfiction with Kate Allen, Janae Marks, Erin Dionne, Ammi-Joan Paquette, and Elly Swartz. I loved being on a panel discussing fantasy/sci-fi/adventure stories with Elinor Teele, Abby Cooper, Jarrett Lerner, Claribel Ortega, and Gregory Mone. We finished up with some words from wonderful Peter Reynolds!
It was a fabulous afternoon for everyone, including me! Books from all the panelists are available to purchase at this Bookshop.org listing.
