I am back from #NCTE19 and #ALAN19. My tenure of as the President of ALAN is over and I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the members of ALAN, the publishers, and the authors. Thank you! I also owe and incredible debt to my close friends and colleagues. Thank you! (If you were there, you know I lost my voice--still gone, and I am fresh out of offers you can't refuse.

I will recap #ALAN19 more next week. (Don't we all need a Thanksgiving Break?) If you have a short paragraph of one of your favorite moments, please send it to me as I prepare for next week. Adding a photo would help as well.

In brief, I am so thankful that Padma Venkatraman and Andrea Davis Pinkney for providing a foundation for Monday and Tuesday. All of the solo speakers were spectacular.

Randy Ribay has made his speech public on this webpage. The title is Critical Lit Theory as Preparation for the World. It was an incredible speech. It validated the work I tried to do in the classroom. I thought for a brief moment that I should try it again. However, teachers in Randy's generation are figuring it out and modeling wonderful teaching. I will keep trying to prepare teacher who committed to the students they teach.

His work is fantastic. The novels are superb. I thought that the Patron Saints of Nothing was a fine selection for the short list for the National Book Award.

I have read your whole story and I have come upon this conclusion that you are a very expert story writer. I like your writing style because I am also a content writer and you have shared this story in very simple words that can be easily understood.
