A collage of pictures from AASL 2025. A woman in front of the Gateway Arch; a man and a woman sit in fireside chat style with microphones; a woman holds up a book and a small sign that says “published!” And looks excited; four women stand in front of a presentation screen and smile after they’ve finished presenting; the same four women crowed around a different presentation screen after a different presentation; a woman holds up checkered flags and smiles; a woman holds up a book next to the author who just signed her book; another author and the same woman stands and smiles holding the book he just signed for her.
Me #AALS25 didn’t end how I wanted and I didn’t get to say goodbye to everyone, but I had a whirlwind of a time presenting FIVE TIMES with most of my #MangaGTS crew, meeting virtual friends IRL, and learning about valuable nonfiction & elem resources.
