Back in my studio after an excellent weekend in Anaheim. Here are a few images of the exhibits from husband’s camera.
And so here are the...
Things I learn in Anaheim: Maps are deceiving. A two block walk in the broiling streets of Anaheim—from hotel to convention center—means a sweaty 25 minute workout.
Things I ate at Anaheim: Ice-cream sundae I made myself at the Roaring Brook Press Bowling Party on Friday evening. I also ended up with stiff right forearm and a 14 point score.
Things I saw in Anaheim: Books by Latino, for Latinos, about Latinos:
Pablo. Pablo Neruda, by Gerogina Lazaro and Marcela Donoso.
Outstanding: The work of Rafael Lopez continues to mesmerize me, wow! Take a lookybook of Our California , written by Pam Muñoz Ryan
And BOOK FIESTA! Celebrate Children’s Day/Book Day; Una celebración de El Día de los niños/El día de los libros
And I also found Rudy Gutierrez’s two first books, feasts to the eyes.
Papá and Me by Arthur Dorros
And Pele, King of Soccer/Pele, El Rey del Futbol, by Monica Brown, of which I don’t have an image of, but I can testify for its magnificence.
My attention went to these books not only because these are Latino, but because they are visually and thematically outstanding.
