ALA 2023 Recap

We had so much fun with everyone at this year's American Library Association Conference in Chicago! A special thanks to everyone who stopped by the HarperCollins booth or came to one of our author signings. We hope that you've gone back to your library renewed and inspired.

Did you miss out on an ARC? Forget to take a photo of that amazing picture book you saw? Don't worry - we've got you! Check out our Edelweiss catalog for a full recap of every title we had in our booth, including links to eGalleys for upcoming novels and PDFs of our upcoming picture book titles.

Thanks for Stopping By the Booth!
