Dear WinkWorld Readers,
The Tucson Festival of Books (TFoB) ended yesterday with 140,000 of my best friends celebrating literacy. I arrived on the University of Arizona campus Saturday 8 a.m. and finally left reluctantly after singing and dancing to the music of José Luís Orozco 5 p.m. on Sunday. Lots of his music right here.
If you read the previous WinkWorld, you may remember that I was worrying about having to miss Jonathan Kozol. Not to worry.
Another highlight for me was working the Teachers’ Professional Development table with a local high school girl. I asked her if she had any fantasy books, which she could recommend as gifts for Wyatt and/or Luke. Check our her list here, and she continued on the other side. An avid reader, indeed.
She also told me about a unicorn on the UofA campus: Who knew?
However, my absolute FAV photo of the TFoB is posted below. I found these two right outside the Free Books Tent. Thanks, Stocker Foundation!
