Ah! Gotcha there! Mo Willems, definitely. Though I may send TeenReader across the yard to Rick Riordan.
If you’re going, look for me at:

I may be the lamest person alive for skipping all of the adult book authors — huge names, by the way — but I have to admit that I’m a kidlit nerd at heart.

Oh, those CHOICES!?!? How DO you choose between Kadir Nelson and Jeff Kinney!? I'd say Holly Black over Judy Blume, but only just! And Mo Willems over Rick Riordan? But, of COURSE!
Dude, I'd be RIGHT with you in skipping the adult authors. Rock on kidlit nerds! Have fun! Take some sambuccol!
If you're a nerd I'm a nerd too and dang proud of it! I'll be spending the day in the same place as you so we will definitely be crossing paths! Just look for the dorky girl with short grey hair, LOL
LOL I'm a nerd too. I'll definitely be hanging out on the kids side. I'll be the one trying to negotiate the crowds with a pushchair :) Unless the baby plays nice and agrees to his babybjorn
Have a wonderful time - I hope you're properly over your cold - and I couldn't agree with you more - Kidlit wins hands down :-)
I still have this burning desire to jump in a car and drive overnight to DC. Sigh. Normally I just follow (stalk) Mo, but knowing I could have stalked (followed) one of my all-time favorite bloggers and gushed with her over our Mo, makes me want to jump in my car even more! Have fun at the festival! Pat from Ohio
See you there! We're sticking strictly to the kid area too!
I wish I could be there! That's an awesome list. More importantly I hope you feel well enough to go!
