We
have about 70 people attending the conference, plus Dianne McKenzie and Brad Tyrrell,
our workshop/keynote speakers.
Note that Dr. Myra Garces-Bacsal, from the
National Institute of Education here in Singapore and author of the "Gathering Books" blog, is also going to present. Her session will be on "Speed Dating: Picture Books from around the world - Expanding the
Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) bookshelf" -- which will be similar to
the talk on her ongoing "Social-Emotional Learning Project" which she gave at Tanglin last November. For those of you who enjoyed that, it will be another chance to look at many of the picture books she
has collected.
You can browse Myra's collection online as her group has cataloged all the picture books using LibraryThing. See her lists and tags here: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/GatheringBooks/allcollections
