[Michlib-l] MAME43 Author Breakfast

[Karen Becknell]

The 43rd annual Michigan Association for Media in Education (MAME43) is
being held in Grand Rapids this year.  Our featured authors are
*Gijsbert (N**ick) and Robbyn van Frankenhuyzen*, and MAME is opening the
author breakfast to teachers and public librarians.  Their breakfast talk
and their follow-up break-out session are as follows:


*3000 Miles Apart: Making Your Hobby Your Career*

 Nick and Robbyn grew up on opposite ends of the world, but their parents
had the same message for them . . . "You have to pay the bills, you have to
make a living. It might as well be doing something you love to do.” They
are doing just that - illustrating books, writing and telling stories.  In
the breakfast session they will take you on their journey, through books,
of living a life doing what they love.

. . . and following . . .

*The Stories Behind the Books*

*Gijsbert and Robbyn van Frankenhuyzen* will share the behind the scenes
stories of how they create their books. This funny and informative talk is
geared for folks who want a little more “meat” to how their books are
developed – from using real models for Nick’s illustrations to using real
stories from their own life on the farm.

 The author breakfast will be held, November 4, at 7:45 AM in the Pantlind
Ballroom, Amway Grand Plaza.  Cost is $60.00 and All attendees will receive
a copy of one of their books, either *Adopted By An Owl* or *I Love You
Just Enough*.
