Alastair Moock & Friends (Grammy nominee!)
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem (featuring Grammy nominee Anand Nayak!)
Gustafer Yellowgold
The Deedle Deedle Dees
Elska
Danny Lion (Dan from Flannery Brothers)
Grenadilla

And Jarrett J. Krosoczka has, as always, put together an amazing lineup of authors too:

Tanya Lee Stone (Who Says Women Can’t Be Doctors?: The Story of Elizabeth Blackwell)
Bob Shea  (Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great)
Raina Telgemeier (Smile, graphic novel adaptations of Baby-Sitters Club)
Dave Roman (Astronaut Academy: Re-Entry)

And Jarrett’s Draw-Off!

Liam and I will be there — hope you will be too!
